Neat, great readme.

Everyone seems to be in flashback mode, so I'll add mine: I remember getting a good grade in my multiprocessing class by making a voxel terrain generator using mpi and with the same technique, but also with clouds (just think of upside down white mountains). But I just randomly generate them, without any lighting. The color of the voxels were determined by their height. Using (nice) color and height textures adds a lot indeed! It's a shame I didn't know that trick on that time, I remember playing with vistapro[1] or terragen[2].
