Hmm, I'm not sure that desert is the right term in the first place. I was a
little inspired by Grand Canyon - is Grand Canyon a desert? Anyway, I
haven't been there, I'm just looking at photos from the web.

I'll see if I can find some good inspiration for some different clouds.

Easy? I don't think so! Besides, you do realize it would have to be a
slightly cartoony vulture to fit together with AL the Alien? ;)

Actually it is indeed rendered with the spherical camera already. Oh, you
mean a full 360x180 degree image so you can map it onto the sky_sphere in
your own scenes? Cheater! ;)
