  Btw, a layer of clouds is never a sphere centered at the camera.
If you are making a huge sphere to work as a sky sphere centered at
the origin (or the camera), that won't really work as realistic clouds.

  The sky_sphere is not even intended to be used for clouds (never mind
what the documentation and example scenes claim). It's intended for the
change in coloration of the sky which depends on the angle of incidence
(sky usually looks whiter closer to the horizon). Clouds should usually
be added as a plane or similar object.
