Yes, there it is. This might be the excitingst part of this page, and indeed this contains the goal of all the text above! Let's see all the pictures one by one ...
A picture from the Earth, taken after the climate catastrophe!
Here is a SGI RGB without stars, destroyed by JPEG encoding!
Multiple halos allow to combine density fields:
planar mapping
spherical mapping
cylindrical mapping
box mapping
Different density distributions along spatial axes (spherically mapped here)
constant
linear
cubic
and even polynomial, with different exponents here (0.5, 2, 5)
Inverting a colormap gives different sight (model same as in linear)
Using alternate colormaps, a little turbulence and trace explosions
A laser pool
... even the BIG BANG is possible
(Just hope that WEB isn't connected to outer space ... !)
Three nice colored steams sharing one space:
Multiply halos concat the densities:
or light with three different colored torches into it from behind
Again color spots are lighting into the dusty medium. The difference is in the parameter of the Henyey-Greenstein formula. The first particles are more forward scattering, but more backwards in the second pictures. Try to figure it out on the positions of the spots!
Objects casting shadows into the dust. (The second picture shows nice effects due to undersampling, called Mach-bands).
See the sky:
... and what is it like in nature:
That's for today's show!
