Hello everybody:

I'm working on an animation about a Floating Refinery a la Cloud City from Star Wars.

This is what I goto so far. I'm not really satisfied with the clouds...
The bottom part is from the Scene effects "sky" and then I added some clouds objects on top.

Any comments suggestions?

Modeled in Grobotto (imported as one object) then added a couple of spline object (the little pods)

Hi Velarde, Nice image :)! Too bad Groboto is only for Mac ... Well, at least now i know what Mac users feel when they see a great software that's only for PC ;) For the clouds, you can add depth to them . You'll need two clouds primitives, here's how i do mine : - add a cloud - set it the way you want . Make it clear - duplicate this cloud and edit a new master - make it dark and heighten the edge falloff by around 10% (this is to avoid some bad "emboss" effect) - lower its position a bit in the Z axis I'm not sure if that's the way to go for your pic, but you have nothing to lose to try, hey ! I hope it helps, litst
