  Regardless of what the documentation mistakenly implies, sky_sphere is
*not* intended to be used for cloud textures. It just doesn't look good
(because it's physically completely incorrect; the camera is not at the
center of the Earth).

  Just use sky_sphere for a color gradient from light blue (at the
horizon) to dark blue (at the zenith).
