The background was just so that the sea had something to reflect. I agree that
it's ugly, I'm definitely getting rid of it :)

I'm hoping to go for a photo-realistic look. Once I've got it textured I'll try
to adapt the media sky and clouds from my last irtc entry, so it's got some
atmosphere.

My grand scheme is to fly the camera all the way from space to the planet
surface, 'cause I don't think I've ever seen that done convincingly.
