My apologies for the size. I thought it would be better received. :(

You are right, of course, Ken. The clouds are a simple texture applied to a
cylinder. The (moon?) ;) object was supposed to be a sun. It is inside of a
sky_sphere, which has all of the effects you noticed. I can fix that, I
think.

Controlling the light in this image is really bugging me :)

The model still has a few problems ;) Feel better? :)
