Hello, I never tried it so far but I came to my mind on my way to work. Is it possible to raise the camera above the clouds and look down to earth ?

Not really, you'd have to make a cloud plane or cloud objects and place the camera above them.

Hi Holli Sure! There are a couple of options: 1) Raise the camera above the terrain and cloud layers (though currently the cloud layer will look 'flat' unless you make them 'volumetric' using primitives textures with cloud materials). 2) The other way is to delete the ground, create some large spheres - and apply a planet type texture and a semi-transparent cloud texture on the larger sphere. Here's an example of this using freely available NASA images (part of an animation I made). Have fun! >8o) Kind regards

Here's another example using a moon texture and a freebie model... (though no clouds here - just the idea of a planet/oid) If you're a registered Vue user, follow this link to the E-On forum where Users have discussed Clouds with example scenes and images for flying a plane through simulated volumetric clouds - very inventive! >8o) http://www.e-onsoftware.com/support/Forum/post.php?cat=2&fid=3&pid=698 Kind regards
