Using the "KH Primitive", "Multi Atmos" and "VClouds Atmos" plugins

First of all, I will thank a lot Doc Mojo for all his help in implementing this atmospheric model.

The "KH Primitive" plugin is a new Mojo World primitive that may take the shape of any of the predefined primitives and adds some methods not provided by the original primitives, but that are required by the multiple atmosphere plugins.

The "Multi Atmos" plugin is an atmosphere plugin that enables to add atmospheres to four or more objects in a Mojo world.

The "VClouds Atmos" plugin is an atmosphere with volumetric clouds. It may be used as well for the planet as for "KH Primitive" objects.

The above picture shows an example of all three plugins in action: A torus moon, an atmosphere on both the moon and the planet and volumetric clouds in both atmospheres.

KH Primitive

This plugin implements the full set of Mojoworld primitives in a single object. By default, it is created as a sphere. It may then be changed to any of the supported shape. Currently, the following shapes are supported:

• Sphere
• Box
• Cylinder
• Cone
• Torus
• Pyramid
• Rectangle
• Circle
  

More may be added in future versions of the plugin. Suggestions are welcome.
The KH Primitive may be used for moon and sun objects. Unfortunately, it is not possible (yet?) to use it to make non spherical planets. Well, maybe Pandromeda programmers should add a "Planet" class in the SDK.

Multi Atmos

This atmosphere plugin handles up to four sub atmospheres. The sub atmospheres may be any valid atmosphere, including the "Multi Atmos" itself. This way, the number of supported atmospheres is virtually illimited.

VClouds Atmos

This atmosphere plugin is based on an atmospheric model written some time ago by Doc Mojo. One of its particularities is the presence of an ozone layer.
The native cloud layers are not supported. They are replaced by a single layer of volumetric clouds. Future versions may support more than one of such layers.

Moon Atmospheres

Putting an atmosphere on arbitrarily shaped planets was the motivation for all the work on this atmosphere stuff. Unfortunately, non spherical planets are not possible for the current version of MojoWorld. What is possible, however,  is to set atmosphere to moons of any shape.
