I could install a new SL - still in test - viewer recently and rendering has been much enhanced for skies and seas ! Just have a look by yourself.
I've been to Hosoi Hishiba to shoot those pictures. That's a huge Japanese mall with many good (and expensive) products. And almost everything is for sale, these boats for example. I almost came back with a red umbrella :)
I went for a highly recommended tool and will try the free version of it.
For the moment, I just had great fun with the emotes menu :))))
My favorite is this one
