Wow, BB, that looks like the sky outside my window right now! That looks realistic to me!:laugh:

Any thoughts to a cloud plane?  We have a ground plane, why not the other?  Would any savings of time be from a smaller cloud plane with the slower  fbm node on it?  Does the area of the env  sphere (in sq feet or poser units) affect render time?

Does the angle of the sphere of plane affect the view of the clouds, or is the effect independant of the angle of incidence?

This quite exciting stuff to my mind.

Is a procedural night sky with clouds, stars and a moon on the horizon?  Or Am I shooting for the moon with this question? :laugh:  If someone says you've got your head in the clouds, just nod and walk away smiling. :lol:
