Hi guys,

all credit goes to Fuzzy. I have just played with it for a while and tweaked it little bit. But blend for further testing is available hereabove for all :slight_smile:

JiriH,

I gather your file is the most developed. All above links are dead. Would you be so kind as to repost. Thanks.

Since this is the latest cloud thread comment, has anybody checked this tutorial out?
http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/tutorials/max/clouds/index.html

I haven’t had time to check how generally applicable it is, but the render clip was pretty good.
It’s got a summary of what makes clouds different and a quick skim makes me think it’s using images on particles as “billboards”.

Nice find.
That fly through at the end of the 3d max tutorial looked brilliant.

I got as far as finding an setting up the billboards in the new particle system,but somewhere in my head,I think this could work.

Hello,

I could not find the blend files nor the first Fuzzy’s video. Please reupload these files.

Thank you in advance.

Hey,

thanks for the interest! I reuploaded the .blend file, the link from page 1 works again. Let me see what you come up with :wink:

Greets,
