  36. David,
  37.  
  38. A talented Lightwave guy by the name of Jim May did a tutorial in=20
  39. LWPro [LIGHTWAVEPRO] magazine that described a great method of
  40. generating realistic clouds. I can vouch for the method because
  41. I've used Jim's techniques to create all sorts of groovy cloud-
  42. like creations.=20
  43.  
  44. The article is too long to reprint here [not to mention problems
  45. with copyright laws] but Jim posts here sometimes I think; maybe
  46. he can respond to you personally.
  47.  
  48. BTW, the article is called "The Cumulus Effect" and it was=20
  49. featured in the September '95 issue of LWPro.
  50.  
  51. Hope this helps,
  52.
