the stars shimmer. appropriate music (40 winks - sgap):
the mountains are generated with perlin noise to keep a continuous but random flow. the stars shimmer in the background with perlin noise too. i tried to hardcode the godrays but this shader (post5) did a spectacular job - i still feel a little bummered that i couldn't do it myself
edit: this shader is awful, it stronghands the rendering making it impossible to keep a nice page layout. the fact that this page doesn't look out of the normal was not easy. please don't ctrl U
