Very cool wavy sun effect.

If its OK, I'd rather not post this source (as it stands) simply because
it is so clumsy and dirty - chiefly in respect to handling the color
gradient on the sky. Roughly speaking the workings are as follows:
- The haze is a partial filtering fog. This reddens the sun disc at the
bottom.
- The sundisc is a y gradient pigment_map on a disk. The pigment map
entries consist of a spherical pattern w/ increasing x turbulence. This
is done via a #while loop. (The whole gradient had to be shifted to
avoid the mirroring about 0.) A turbulence warp is used to squash the
"distortions".
The scene, as coded, has little bearing on reality (scattering,
refraction, etc.). However, it is relatively fast.
I hope this answers some questions. If someone is interested in more I
can post some snippets in p.t.s-f

No, this is not even close to an imitation - just good old turbulence.
Your comment, however, started a train of thought around the idea of
using a surface with an appropriatly purturbed normal and an ior to
simulate this effect. Actually, this is still pretty far from "the real
thing", but it might be interesting to try.
In regards to "Cadman's Ray-tracing Philosophy", I would agree with it -
in part. However, in regards to addressing _art_ ... well, thats a topic
for povray.philosophy.art :)

I see now, thanks for the insight into it.

These sky things keep getting better and better...
The hf texture is slope-dependent, right?

This is a common solution, but I've found one that I think works
better:
pigment {gradient x warp{repeat x}}

Better, when the same result can be achieved either way ?
Pick. Pick.

Except that the offsetting solution can have bad effects if you have a
bozo or other noise-based pigment in the mix, and sometimes just moving
the problem area isn't good enough.

Playing around with this idea, I used a simple spherical pigment on a
disc, and used warp { repeat z } instead and found a great image, too
bad it's technically bug, I think. I found another one with a bunchof
torii placed really close to gether with a small first radius (zero) and
a larger second radius.
the images are speckled but clear.

Yet another beautiful image, but the foreground spoils
it a bit, it seems to be a bit harsh in contrast to
the backdrop.
Keep up the good work.
