Hello all. After seeing the faked fire post, I was reminded of a cloud
technique I was working on once that involved using discs. I decided to
play with it some more and this is the result.

Oh yeah, it took 2 minutes and 40 seconds to render with no AA on my P
166mhz.

Questions, comments?

Nice cumulus.  The shadows from them is a nice touch too.

Very nice clouds -- and fast. Can you share your technique with us? 
A full featured macro would be great :-)

Sounds (and looks) very good.

The clouds look excellent but the sun disc looks contrived and unnatural.

I guess this and the fire thing officially usher in the Disk Era of POVing.
We have moved past the Layered Planes Era... may it rest in peace. :)

If I have time I might make a macro, or at least show the technique.

I've since fixed that by putting a transparent disc with phong and specular
highlights behind the sun.

I don't think this will take place of the layered planes. This will only work
in one direction. Adding additional directions might cause the discs to
intersect, which would look bad.

Progress seems to be a little slow... :-)
