How did you do that!!!? It is wonderful and so realistic!
It is really good. How did you do that? Are your clouds animated textures or have you used particles?
Would be settings or blend available?
What I would like to hear is that it was done with the skygen build, that it was really easy and that it rendered quickly - because it is pretty damn good!
Koba
Koba is right. Old technices still seem to provide very nice results to be compared to Skygen build. And I would say that old techniques are sill faster to set up, to animate as well as to render.
I used just a plane with a cloud texture for alpha and used an ampty for texture coordinates. Then I animated the empty (in x and a bit in z direction).
Here is the zipped blend file: http://twoday.tuwien.ac.at/pub/files/anim-flat-clouds
Consider it a public domain (because of it’s triviality).
What I didn’t manage to do right is a second cloud-plane. The alpha values of the two planes didn’t mix right. It looked totally wrong.
how did you use an empty to coordinate textures?

Yeah I get it! I even tried it. and it work out just fine =)
