dunno how you would make a plug to put a roof on an existing model, but it
sounds very interesting tho..

for the roof, I'm architect I can explain to the developers how too build a
roof but Idon't know how to program (it isn't my job).
Let me know if you are interested to program
For the sky just have look to this include I made for using in outdoor scene
(excuse my poor english). It could be a base, the plugin could allow us to
adjust the sky colors and the rate of clouds ( less or more transparency). And
why not the sun or the moon like skyspher allow us to do it.
Read you soon all

 Being a little of both (arch. and prog.), I'd say that the task is very
difficult,
and, anyway, you'll need a different plugin for each kind of roof,
because, and you
know that, you abolutely can't use a 'formula' to create a roof, because
it's dependant
from too many parameters, and especially un-quantifiable ones.

 I recently made a window plugin for Pov, and, while it works well (any
bay size,
any number of glass divisions, correct direction of wood veins if wood
is used...),
it is limited to 2-openings windows, because it's something you can't
generalize.

As a person who put roofs on houses and buildings for 4 years I have to agree
with you. There are as many types of roofs as there are types of buildings
maybe more.
