Wow, they are really bizarre. At first glance you think, they cant be real, they even look like 3D renders, metaballs or something lol. Mammatus Clouds are well documented in the other links found there. Very interesting natural phenomena Just amazing to see things like that. Still many mysteries we are unfamiliar with isn't there;) Top find Rob:)

I never intended to make art.

Considering the origin of the word 'mammatus', I'm surpised this is in the Bryce forum, and not the Poser forum! (grin chuckle) (Just kidding!)

They should have used some of those in "War of the Worlds".

I have seen this type of cloud formation before.... usually see them when tornadic activity or severe thunderstorms are possible.

There are 10 kinds of people: Those who know binary, and those who don't. 

A whiner is about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.

Quote from above link "Sometimes very ominous in appearance, mammatus clouds are harmless and do not mean that a tornado is about to form; a commonly held misconception. In fact, mammatus are usually seen after the worst of a thunderstorm has passed."

Quite cool now try making some of these in your renders.

Ever wonder how much clouds weigh??

I saw them once in California, which is extremely rare in that part of the country. It was during an "electical storm", also very rare for the San Francisco Area.
