Subject: Puffy Clouds

How can I make some nice puffy clouds - cumulus - type as opposed to the thin flat whispy cirrus and stratus clouds VUE gives me?

This is for a fly-around animation w/ animated sky, so alpha planes are not an option

The only option then is to use volumetric metablobs.

Which version of Vue are you using?

I've been experimenting using groups of spheres with a transmap texture rather than a volumetric one to create mist, smoke and fog.  A similar group of spheres might work for a cloud.

thanks a ton for your tips,

so a volumetric metablob can be animated?  I want the puffy clouds to morph and roll by...

maybe if it's not in the atmosphere settings for the clouds I'm not going to fight w/ it... the point of buying VUE was simplicity, not complication... if I wanted to fight w/ a program I'd go back to using VIZ 2006.  :)

Yes, it can be animated.
