Hello Everyone
I have a little problem with Meta Blobs/Clouds.
I am making a picture to be used as a background for an animation. Field of corn and mountains. The Meta Blobs are greyed out. If I open a new file they are still greyed out. If I re-start Vue and open a new file they are back but as soon as I open my field file they have gone again.
My resources are 75%. I just wanted a few clouds low over the mountain tops. It is a slightly heavy file because rendertime on resolution 640 by 426 is 4 hours on final.
Thank you very much for all the hints and tips on this forum.
Best regards
Sepia

I suppose you are talking about the metacloud icon on theleft toolbar.
Metaclouds can only be used with spectral atmospheres. If you use a standard atmopshere for your scene, the metacloud icon is greyed out. This is normal. Change for a spectral atmosphere and the clouds will be available.
