Yep, still making progress. Dick is finalizing the (rather complex!) algorithms into metanodes which will easily allow for tweaking cloudscapes-- and I'm writing the documentation and crafting atmospheres which will work for all the CloudPak cumulus types of clouds.

One of our goals with the documentation is to explain the standard Vue cloud controls and how sensitive and important they are to realistic results. A single percent difference in a Cloud slider setting can make a huge difference in the final cloud render. While the final manual may be a bit long, it'll be full of pictures and screenshots showing you exactly what you need to know to becaome a master cloudsmith.

While this is taking a bit longer than we originally intended, the final product will be more than just a set of atmospheres and cloud layers. We'll certainly keep everyone posted!
