I have been having moderate temporary frustration, and overall great fun, with POV-Ray . After 3 days of hacking, I've built an animation of an 80km descent from space into a cheesy atmosphere: http://www.launchloop.com/AtmosphereHack01 Note - 20MB, may take a while to download on a slow connection. A lot more learning to do, but I'm pretty sure I can do all that I want with this tool, along with C++/LibGD for some other kinds of "less optically exact" diagrams.
