Feature highlights include:

• Water - Lakes and seas can be rendered complete with ripples/waves and soft reflections.

• Cloud layer - A 2-dimensional cloud generator and rendering system which realistically shades the clouds to give an impression that they are actually 3-dimensional. There's also an experimental 3-dimensional cloud renderer which can in most cases provide even more realistic results.

• Multi-haze atmospheric model - This allows for highly realistic skies and haze, while allowing room for experimentation and artistic licence.

• Volumetric lighting - Shadows from the terrain (and in future the clouds) can be cast into the atmospheric haze to give 'sunbeams' and improve the overall lighting of the atmosphere. This effect is very efficiently implemented and adds only a small overhead to rendering times.

• Realistic sunlight penetration system - Calculates the dimming and reddening of the sunlight through the atmosphere. Improves foggy scenes and gives gorgeous sunsets with ease while still permitting control over it's effects.
