Here's a render of the cloud evolution from the point of view of a satellite
:)

I've improved the textures so they look good close-up. Much finer detail on
the turbulence of the clouds, and a sharper normal on the ground.

I'll post the source in p.b.s-f shortly...

This looks so much better than the last one, its hard to believe its
essentially the same thing - good work!

What surprised me is I spent last night improving the textures but it still
renders at only 10 seconds per frame!

Definitely going to find a way to put this into an IRTC anim :)
