DM-Shiqi

I made several lighting passes before I found the right mix of environmental light, ambient light, point lights, and fog.  At first, I gave the level a daylight lighting scheme, but that ruined the mood.  Next, I tried night, but the darkness hid much of the beauty of the level.  Finally, I settled on an early morning look to make the point lighting important while still showing off the mountains.
