My experience with the Binary Alchemy Shaders
is somewhat limited, but what I have used works great.
I would expect that with some work you could achieve these
kinds of effects that you mention.
It works both with particles and volumes. If you are
comfortable with particles I think you could make just about any type of cloud
type things.
I am currently deforming these particle clouds with chains
to create animated animals and other sorts of things.
its also quite inexpensive for what it can do
IMO

Good
morning,
I’m looking for a plugin (XSI)
or standalone app that can recreate violent-storm cloud/sky
VFX
ala “War of the Worlds” or “Close
Encounters of the Third Kind.”
Does anyone have any clues as to
where I can look to achieve this effect?
I looked at the BinaryAlchemy
plugin. It looks great! Does it have this ‘animatable’ capability? Does anybaody
have a any feedback using this?
I’m putting RealFlow through some
tests but the turnaround process is very time consuming when colliding
fluids.
Thanks and have a good
day.
