Really great!
May we have an idea of the render times?

It's really great! I would really appreciate it if you post the source.

The atmospheric haze in the second scene is excellent. The texture of
the terrain is also amongst the best I have seen. The clouds are good,
but if you hadn't told me they were made with media I would have guessed
stacked planes. They seem to exhibit some of the artifacting of that
method? I guess I would expect crisper edges on the near clouds.
Anyway it is nitpicking. The overall accomplishment of a general
landscape generator and the combined use of media for both clouds and
atmosphere is a remarkable accomplishment. And conceptually satisfying.

Dramatically impressive !
The very thin cloud in the upper center seems to be a bit grainy though,
it would need some softening in its density.
Render times ??

Very nice...a lot better than the stock skies I've been using in my
fractal landscape generator.
And perhaps I should consider using media for my own skies...

Magnificent! If I hadn't known beforehand that they were raytraced, I'd have
sworn that the sunset was real.
