Hey everyone,

I've been working on a small project involving rendering the Earth from 
space over winter vacation, and I wanted to share a quick test render that 
I'm pretty happy with.  I'm using some of Christoph's methods for the 
atmosphere (specifically the media).

I was experimenting with the clouds, and tried using a spherical-density 
scattering media (type 3), which shows depth much more than a pigmented 
sphere.

I'm not completely satisfied -- the land masses are lacking in contrast, 
which is something I plan on looking at next, but I'm pretty happy with it.

Total render time was 453 seconds.

 - Peter
