Thanks. The one thing about this scene that has given me the most trouble is the
atmosphere and its density/brightness. Not a technical issue, but an aesthetic
one. The scene is supposed to be murky and somewhat dark, but getting *just* the
right balance has been an on-going struggle. Every time I render a test of the
scene, I want to tweak those qualities. And that usually means tweaking the
objects' textures too--their color saturation, brightness, and ambient values--
in order to get everything to 'match' visually. It's quite a tedious process;
and the scene still doesn't look quite the way I want it to. (One reason for
that is because of a choice I made: I want to keep the number of lights in
the scene to an absolute minimum, to cut down on render time. Trying to
compensate for that limitation has been difficult!)
