Just as a “cool picture” post I thought I would throw up an example of using the colored lightmap option to assign different shades for sunlit and skylit lighting:

As far as I know the present version of WM has full export only to Povray. There is another great free renderer, Kerkythea:

So why not having a full exporter for it too? Let note that Kerkythea apart from being a very richly endowed with features renderer it is a fully fledged staging app to. You can import to it meshes and ‘cloth’ them fully with its material applying system. So it is a way of populating all those amazing terrains of WM, easily from within it.
