What do you think?
remember, the sky is just a sky_sphere and some fog, there's no media. 
The noon-version rendered in just under 7 minutes, including 5s parsing 
time for the landscape. The sky without a landscape would render in 
about 25s.

Very good indeed.
Is this an update of your famed Fastcloud macro? I use /that/ very, very 
often, if not for practically all my scenes.
Needless to say that I am interested ;-)

basically, I use any pattern that looks a bit like clouds as both a mask 
for the edges of the clouds, and as a simulation for the shading (by 
translating it towards the sun location, scaling it a tiny bit, and 
translating it back)

thank you :)

more like a rewrite than an update :)
The basic idea remains the same, the implementation has changed 
completely, and IMHO it's much easier to use now:
#include "fastsky.inc"
//Optional, defaults to Belgium, I think :)
fastclouds_SetSceneLocation(Longitude,Latitude)
//Optional, defaults to a
//sunpos.inc-based location
fastclouds_SetSunLocation(Location)
//Optional
fastclouds_SetPredefinedCloudForm(Type,Transform)
//Optional, defaults to 1000
fastclouds_SetScale(UnitsPerKilometer)
fastclouds_AddClouds(Cast,Fluffyness,Transparancy)
fastclouds_AddSky(Hazyness)
fastclouds_AddLights(SunBrightness,SkyBrightness,Arealights)
//You can add more than one layer of clouds
fastclouds_AddClouds(Cast,Fluffyness,Transparancy)

I could send you the source if you want, you could help me betatest it :)

   Definitely an improvement over the old version... I'm impatiently 
waiting for it.

Thanks, but try to be patient, as I still have work on documentation..
..and as it is now, there's no moon.. which leads to *very* dark night 
skies :)
