I wanted to make the light shine on the hills better, which means taking the sun
out of the view. The 'sun' was just a disc behind the light_source with a special
texture+finish to make the sun appear visible.

Yeah, I just saw it. I tried making such clouds out of an isosurface and had no
luck at all. Any attempt resulted in a higher rendering time anyways.

To use ridgedMF as a pigment, I had to divide the heck out of it, or else terrible
lines would show up. See code at p.text.scenes-files
