All the way at the top in the R'osity banner, just under tutorial???  That's how I got to it although the "June Challenge-Awesome Skies" link is still OD

Outstanding entry!

How did you get the depth in the right top quad? planes & spheres?

no planes, just spheres with various volumetric cloud mats, some from agent smith and others within bryce itself. and like pidjy i was experimenting with lights inside the spheres. it took a lot of positioning and experimentation to stop that overlapping effect which can happen with spheres (the clouds look like a solid curved line). using metaballs didn't really work for me in this image although i shall persevere with them i think in future work. there are also a couple of thunderhead clouds in there which i downloaded from steves art gallery (thank you stephen ray!) i found his link through the thread you started about volumetric smoke and metaballs, so ultimately ICM, i owe you a big thanks also!!

That thread was most helpful. (steves link should be attached if i've figured out this new site workings thingie!)

Steve & Pidjy are great inspirations.

Again, fantastic piece.

great picture but it looks like you may have used photoshop brushes for the clouds.

and I've found it
