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?
