This is a WIP. I found a photo on Flickr which this sort of resembles.

Nice image njeneb...
but the clouds need more samples...

I reworked the clouds. They are now brighter looking, and I deleted a layer. The new test image is just about rendered. I also added some fake stones, but they don't look very apparent at the resolution I am test rendering at.
I will add samples for the final image, after a test or two...
Small render test. I am rendering the large HiDef version now. I may be done Tuesday.

nice... I'm wainting for the HiDef render...

It's about 3/5 finished. The sky samples made the render longer, but there is not much sky. Things should speed up now that all that is left is ground.
Had to stop the render. I forgot the problem with using a distribution shader to constrain fake stones. The fake stones turned into spikes. It did render far enough so I saw some other things I want to change. Maybe Saturnday? I'll have a full render.
