Pleased ta meetcha!  I'm outside of Fairbanks, where its snowing heavily lol.  I heard you guys were having a lot of "fun" on the roads LOL.

I'm hoping to take a class in Zbrush from one of UA's extention colleges via the web sometime soon (hopefully spring)... it looks like such a useful tool, and i'm a complete moron with it (i spent my entire trial period just trying to figure out a few simple buttons)

Vue does have excellent clouds!  And subsurface scattering, when applied right, is a marvelous effect... makes things soooo lifelike.

The function editor IS pretty much the heart of Vue, as it drives most everything you see, from a simple texture to the clouds.. and in this case, the clouds turned aurora.  i havent figured out metanodes, or most of the nodes for that matter - i'm still a monkey handed a wrench and told to go bang on some pans.  i may produce a symphony, but most times - its a bust LOL.

with that in mind... all the credit goes to eonite, really.  i simply read his basic directions and ran with them!  thanks for the praise, though, it IS appreciated, and I am right proud of what i was able to achieve with such a great file to start with LOL.

and to everyone who's enjoyed it so far... you're welcome =D

Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....
