Smoother mountains with snow caps
The faceted, noisy mountains are now about 30 big, rounded peaks with smooth slopes, set on gentle foothills with only light roughness.
- Shading: the mesh is a single smooth-shaded one (shared vertices, averaged normals).
- Snow caps: worked out per pixel in. Snow starts at about 90 m with a ragged, noisy edge and stays off the steepest faces, so only the taller summits wear white caps.
- Contrast: the rock is darker so the caps stand out, the caps glow faintly against the stars, and the distance haze is lighter.
