One more thing, the realistic sky thingamathing. 1.) The new skies are great! 2.) Getting rid of/turning off the ground plane is a significant improvement but it's not done. I would like more controls over the horizon. The bi-gradient function in the background tab works GREAT! Could we pleas propogate that into the sky engine? 3.) The haze function in the code is ok but could be better. This is a re-emphasis of gavottes comment. Terragen ROCKS in this sense. Carrara does not. 4.) Users want to do LOTS of different things when setting up the outdoor environment. The current atmosphere tools are not nearly flexible nor powerful enough. A reasonable amount of improvement could be made here. I'm thinking very bold in this sense and would consider recasting the entire atmosphere/background/backdrop component of the scene tools. In summary, there needs to be a better way to set up outdoor environments. When C can casually crank out Terragen results, the code user base will probably double. I must also say that the latest version made significant leaps in the forward direction! The new skies are a fantastic improvement, easy to use, great results! Please continue leaping!
