I don't like to lose the shading on the shadow sides of the mountains. In 3D
terrain it looks *much* better if you use an anti-sun light source instead
of ambient light. Ambient light is, in my opinion, one of the worst features
of the Phong reflection model... especially when you use to light terrain.

This is not the 'rappongi' you are thinking about :) If I remember
correctly, then the other 'rappongi' is even spelled differently...
