Hello!

I wonder how to render realistic skies and oceans like the ones in Terragen.
Is there any good includes available or is there any plug ins for moray,
etc. With a converter-plugin for Terragen you can export the heightfield to
Pov-format, but it would be nice to be able to generate nice skies, waters,
etc., as well.

Jonas.

There are good tutorials on skies and water at:
http://free.prohosting.com/~olana/povray/povray.html
The water tutorial is a bit out of date (pre-media), but the sky tutorial
should be help.

There have some nice skies and water posted in images recently as well.
