Yes, they're fairly well known in this space. Thanks!

Outerra is a proprietary engine so it's not really relevant.

Proland is pretty well known, we might use the atmospheric rendering some day. It looks very realistic.

Yeah I especially like the forest rendering stuff here: http://evasion.inrialpes.fr/~Eric.Bruneton/
