I have spent months trying to write realistic cloud code. All my attempts
have come to nothing. The nearest thing to realistic clouds in Pov and
possibly the only way to do it well, is Mike Andrews clouds code. So I guess
I shall be working with that for a while. If anyone has any other useful and
workable suggestions, now's yer chance ter get 'em off yer chest!

Hi -- haven't got time to test this but it should work
cloud {<0, 1000, 0>
pigment {rgb 1}
fluffiness 5
looks_like_rain 0

That will give you whispy, fluffy clouds, because cloud_type defaults to
cirrus. If you want dark, rain filled thunderheads, try adding
"cloud_type CUMULONIMBUS".
(assuming you have clouds.inc #included for the CUMULONIMBUS declaration)

Life is but a walking shadow,
It is a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot,
Full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-Bill S.
However, I beg to differ. For example, your recent "Stones" picture had an
amazing sky. And the one with the misty appearance was equally exceptional.

Maybe the clouds on my site are useful? (tutorials-section)

There have been one or two small successes along the way but - always a
but - they are not what I want. I want big, juicy cumulus nimbus, chunky
clouds and control over the whole process.

Yes it's a nice technique, very similar to Jaime's clouds but I'm after a
media solution.

have you tried generating a cloud with blobs in a macro? you may be
able to do it similar to the macro somebody made to fill a box full of
spheres. where that made the spheres not intersect, it would probably
be easy to make them intersect. instead of filling a box, maybe you
could fill a blob. and use some kind of proximity thing so there are
bigger blobs in the middle and smaller ones as you move to the edges for
detail. and maybe you could specify how full the container blob is of
filler blobs. and for tests you could just make your filler a solid
color before dipping into media and long render times. i don't know,
maybe someone has already tried this and failed?

I tried that briefly a few months ago (trying to reproduce a thunderstorm)
I didn't spend much time on it because I couldn't get the edges to look
anything other than solid.
Maybe I should have another look at it. Maybe media with a blob pattern...

and please note that Silver_Lining is a mandatory parameter for all cloud code.
