Yes.  It doesn't have that dark foreboding look.  Not sure I like losing
that.

Well, I've been considering a whirlpool.  If I can work out an iso funtion,
I'll do it.

They are, actually.  It's just not really noticable.  Need to work on that.

Yeah, the clouds were thrown together.  As said elsewhere, they're basically
just the clouds from the pov manual, with a bit of scaling and some altered
parameters.  I'm not good with clouds, so ....  Anyone got any good, fast
clouds that are nice and fluffy looking that render blazingly fast?  I can't
put up with the image taking much longer. :/
