Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. 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:

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.
