Hello everyone! I haven't posted here for a while, so I thought I'd 
contribute *something*. I've been working on this scene for a couple of 
days now. It began as an attempt to make a landscape which looks good 
from whichever angle you view it.

The jpeg quality for these images is low, I'll admit. No post-processing 
was used, except for converting from tga to jpeg. I used less than 20% 
jpeg smoothing. The camera is looking to the front, right, back and left 
starting with image number one.

The whole scene is composed of scattered height_fields, a bunch of 
spheres with spherical media, and one ground plane. A cylinder connects 
the camera to the light_source to make the sun form a corona.

Average render time: about six minutes.

Questions and comments are always welcome!

I do not understand this meaning well.

What setup is the color of the sky?

I think of a transparent (rgbt 1) very slightly refflective (reflection 
{0, 0.1} or less) hollow and open cylinder with some slight normal 
perturbation. Hard to tell, the light is not visible.

Aparently,  there it some scattering media.

Miyoken,

There is a way I have been making light_sources visible in POV-Ray for 
quite some time now. The attached image shows such a visible light_source.

This is achieved by placing one end of a cylinder to the camera's 
location, and the other end to the light_source (roughly 100,000 units 
away). It is given specular and phong settings to show the effects of 
the light_source on the geometry of the tube.

To fill in the sky, I use a basic fog and background color.

I have attached the scene code to the sunset image posted here into 
povray.binaries.scene-images.

i see this and get the impression that someting is resting in the sea
but not distorting the waves
it needs to be wider
also the grey of he sky in approx center of picture needs to blend into 
the 'cylinder'

does that make sense?

Now I understand.
This image is beatiful,realistic!

It seemas that it is simple way.
I was surprised.
