i am attempting to make a planet/scenery generator in povray.
it uses true media ,clouds and isosurfaces it can render whle planets or you can
zoom to the ground to take closer shots.
but it doesn't have a spherical co-ordinate system which would be cool and i
cant seem to find a way to place grass/objects. i could use some help.
