i've tried a volume slab, none of the cloud textures looked right. what did you use in your example jay? kettle steam? the roads/hedges are a must. i always was going to add them, i really wanted to get the lighting right first, i know it is supposed be the last thing you do but if i couldn't acheive it i was going to can the project before I got too committed. in the above image i have increased the house size and upped the fog density and given it a pink hue.
