A quick demonstration of what I was able to turn the tornado.pov script into, with
plenty more effort :-) That is to say, I used a sphere_sweep for the funnel after
encountering MegaPov freeze-up when using a isosurface. Something about
the contact between it and a torus (the ground plume). Even dropped the torus for
a simple sphere. And the media had to be thoroughly tweaked of course.
It takes some imagination to see it as anything close to realism but I didn't make
anything else for the scene so that doesn't help. Plus it's fast, faster than the
real thing.
Well, the up side is I think people will like it, so it probably isn't all bad.
Bob

I liked it. For one its not a space ship animation, and its convincing
enough to think of it as a tornado.

Looks good. I especially like the dusty bottom part.

Like so many other people I too have nothing but trouble dealing with media.
Either it's too thin or too thick, too bright or too dark. Same goes for this one,
that funnel part wasn't intended to show through the plume of dust.
You should see what happens when the light source is behind it compared to in front.
If in back of it then it's like a fire instead.
Thanks for looking.

nice one, looks plenty realistic for me, especially the dust cloud at the
base - been watching it full screen for about 5 mins, kinda captivating...

5 minutes huh...? Maybe you'd like the latest one too then :-) I just posted it
here.
Whoa, I just realized you said full screen. That must be very mosaic-like.
