Thanks, Bill! This is indeed the first stage where I begin to feel it is a
'mature' scene. It is slow work but within acceptable margins. When
necessary, I use the isosurface approximation macro to get rough bearings.

Yes, I wonder about the larger resolution too. Everything depends, I
believe, on the foreground. If that is too schematic or primitive, the scene
will not pass the test. So, more work there is needed anyway.

Horizon gradient: yes indeed. My idea is/was to have a thin cloud layer
somewhere halfway up the cliff in the background. I tried with Gilles Tran's
makecloud macro, but was not successful yet (cloud would not appear). I have
to experiment more, or try other things, or go for a second thin fog
probably. Stay tuned!
