samples 100, 1000 is specific to method 1 and 2. As it is now, the 1000
is ignored.
Also, it's preferable to not set intervals at all and just use the
default of 1.

Yes, thanks. I know this and - as it happens - just overlooked the
second samples value.

Latest development:
+ new and improved cumulus shapes using trace() over a rough base shape.
There are 10 different clouds using 500 blob components each one.
+ added cirrus layer using a panoramic photograph of real clouds as
pattern for the media density (had to "cheat" because I could not find
any convincing pattern).

Looking very good indeed... I am not entirely convinced by the cirrus
layer though.

Very convincing cumulus; however, I'm less sure about the cirrus. I
think that a clockwise rotation might fix that.
Having said that, excellent work

Thanks, Thomas, John... see if these cirrus look better.

The wizard did it again! :-)
Yes, that is much, much better.

You're not supposed to use a camera ;-)
Much better. Good work.

Something's still odd about this. Can't put my finger on it though.
Maybe thick low-hanging cumulus together with cirrus is a weather
situation we don't normally see?
Maybe there's a 3D-component to your cirrus clouds, whereas in reality
they seem to be quite flat?
