|   This will create a sphere of clouds centered on the camera, not on the
| center of the Earth. That is, the clouds will be extremely unrealistic.

	I wasn't giving a solution for the most realistic clouds, I was
explaining what CFM didn't catch from the tutorial he was following.
Which meant giving a solution to approximate as best as possible the
effect of  sky_sphere (which for all intent and purposes is centered
on the camera) with the added benefit of shadow casting clouds.
