It's a real shame these tricks can't be used in a media statement. I
could see planetary rings for a second.

Why not? I glanced through the source code, and didn't see anything that
couldn't be adapted for media density...

I know it won't work because I tried, and it told me a pigment_map could
only appear in a pigment statement. I tried declaring the pigment separately
and it didn't like it, and I tried plugging one of Runes amazing procedural
textures in the density portion and it complained again.
I hope that someone with more talent for programming than I have can take a
look at that someday...

Density statements use density_map, not pigment_map.

You will have to modify the color_maps of the density to get good
results, of course...

Duh. I should have thought about that. Except for the small fact that I
don't think I've run into density maps before... attached is a simple ugly
planet and some rings that aren't much better.

They might also be useful as isosurface functions...there would be some
interesting possibilities.

It generally helps to use smaller color values in a density map
than in a color map. If you use too high a number the colors wash
out such as seen in your posted image. Try dividing them by 3
and see how they look.

Of course, this depends on the thickness of the media, the way the
colors layer on each other, and the color used for the media, which acts
as a multiplier for the density, etc. If the media is low density or if
the distance you see through it is small, you need to use higher color
values.
It can also help if the colors vary more than they do in the pigment,
since the media will tend to blend them together in areas.

Looks like you could do some good water using this
method.
