Hey thanks Jamie, at least that scene is one I can follow (nice and short).
Do I understand from your comments that the stacked plane approach to clouds
will not let me see a single fluffy cloud if I am looking down from above a
small mountain, e.g. I won't see a cloud floating above the terrain?

So far the only method that I have found that comes close to that is the
technique of using concentric spheres and the special double illumination
flag. Any comments on that technique?

Mitch

PS I like the way your site shows the thumbnails.
