Hi Rob,
after the scene file has parsed it writes to the message screen the

Landform, sun position etc. You can tweak a landscape by individually  
defining a seed for each of these, thus being able to change the sky etc.  
On the next issue I intend to add some scene tweaks as well, so you can  
shift the landscape around a little without anything else being redefined.  
+ a set of macros that will let you easily insert objects from outside the  
LOTW core code.

The halo is due to the tress being media contained inside a sphere  
interacting with the media atmosphere. I'll probably be using a different  
tree code next time round.

Showed it to my wife, and she said "Where's that? We should go there on 
vacation!"

Sounds great. this whole concept is fantastic.

I guess my question was a bit out of place. I was thinking that IMHO
it would be good to be able to see the actual final raw Povray code
that is rendered i.e. generated by the LOTW code or any other macro
generated scene  itself. I think this would be useful from a learning
point of view. For example to see and learn from the raw Povray code
generated , how a particular element of the scene is defined.

Does this make sense ? I guess it's really a question for another
group !

Cheers
Rob

I really like the 1st one especially the sunset light on mounts tops.
I'm a little less fond of displaying media trees containers but it was
already discussed sooner in this thread :)

 You should go to sleep more often ;-)
 this one is really incredibly beautifull
Interacting clouds shadows and ground and rolling hills fading in haze are
great

   This is evolving really good. I like the boulders, specially the 
scattering on the previous update... I must add this feature to my LOTW.

   For the trees I'm using cheap isosurfaces with double_illuminate, 
wich works decently, but it's not really good for the near terrain. 
Yours are perhaps suffering from fog interaction with media containers?

   I'm downloading your last zip, to see what more ideas I can borrow. :)

Hi Jaime

I've just downloaded your zip as well. Looking for code goodies as well.  
The LOTW work on your website is looking great.
