It was rendered on a P4. The entire atmosphere is created using just media
(no sky sphere or the like) and there were 32 lightsources providing
ambient level lighting in addition to the main light source, + a complex
isosurface, + aa.

I've completed tests using a combination of height fields and sky spheres
that render much faster however the isosurface provides a much richer
landscape form and the media atmosphere provides better interaction with
clouds and light decay at low angles.
