I intend to make it only declarative. You specify values for parameters, scalar
or functions/color_maps or so, and they are processed by an 'engine'. In this
case, the engine is very simple.
Sky_17 is currently rendering and here is the state now. It is a 3 cloud layers
sky (plus the atmosphere), and it already took about 12-14 hours to render
(Athlon 3000). I think it'll average 6-8 pps. I needed 2 hours to tweak this
one before the final render. Seeing it now, I find it a bit too bright, but
presentable however.
