Hello.

Can someone provide some links or tips on how to make clouds in vue for the purpose of flying through them? I've tried creating meta clouds from the toolbar, adding a bunch along a path to fly through and adding a few meta cloud materials that come with vue.  Then I have animated the main camera to fly along the path.  The rendering is very slow and I'm wondering if maybe I should have done this a different way. Maybe fewer meta clouds and just stretch them out? Not sure. In doing this it appears I can't really use a pre-made atmospher because every time I load one the metacloud icon becomes disabled and my cloulds disapear so it appears the whole sky must be made manually. 

If anyone could provide some links or references to tutorials on this I'd appreciate.  Thanks!
