Re: Convincing volumetric clouds

Volume shader from :-
http://www.binaryalchemy.de/
we're using right now to create nice fluffy white clouds. They look 
superb. Can't post too much yet, but the results we've been getting with 
the particle shader included with the volume bundle, works really well. 
The nice thing is you can swirl the particles around and get a nice 
timelapse look as well.
Though this is for a kids show so they have a certain 'look' to them.
