I didn't see Bill. Could not have learned this much without you. Thanks.



No less than 4 refinements:
Lunar bump implemented for more detail
This affected dark-side of moon blending out completely with mapped BG-plane
Light angle syntax-mistake corrected (input is degrees doh)
Vicky's lighting color brings a glow to her, matching the scene


Use of BG-plane leaves default black sky. The effect is lighting water texture
with minimum foreground scene color absorption

I am thinking the inverse sphere method is what removes color absorption from
sky to foreground scene, but no water texture lighting.


The difference in the final product is seen.
