OK, so here's the movie I promised in the gallery. It's only 10 seconds long however it took 49.5 hours to render @ 25 fps with some motion blur so it's not too bad ~11 minutes per frame. The mountains give away the fact that I used a fairly low (as in not-so-good) anti-aliasing setting.

Though Carrara can do some pretty convincing clouds...

Oh yeah, and before you download beware that it's about 2 1/2 MB in size @ 25fps and 512x288px using Sorenson 3 quicktime codec.

Nice work, HowieFarkers. Very pleasant! When I see this scene that you made, I associate "Early-bird preview". http://www.e-onsoftware.com/products/vue6/ Carrara has wonderful clouds, but it needs long rendering time, too.

That was my point - Carrara can already do stuff similar (I'm careful not ot say "as good as" or "better than") to that Vue6 preview. I know it took a fairly long time to render but to me less than 15 minutes a frame is still (just) reasonable for the quality you get. I probaly should have rendered without motion blur and slashed the time to 1/3 of what it took.

My apologies, I put the link to a larger version of the file that is actually 8 1/2 MB, here's the link to the more compressed version that IS 2 1/2 MB

Beautiful work.  Now you have given me the incentive I needed to start messing with the animation features of C5.

REALLY nice work! I like how you go right through some clouds and then around others... nice camera direction.
How many different clouds do you have? Or, are they all one instance of a volumetric cloud?
What is your scale? Very large with a large distance of camera motion? Or, very short camera motion with small scale clouds? (I'm curious as to how much detail is really available within a volumetric cloud.)
Sorry for all the questions, but I do love to pick the minds of folks who have created nice looking animations.
