This looks suspiciously like the original source was a photo...!

Hi Simon.
You have created a bit of a storm, I fear! :o) Fair
play to you. I think that your clouds are extremely good. Equiprawn has
commented that they can't see any shadows cast onto other clouds, but I can
see some, as they would/should be.
Just a thought, I believe that waves are also very hard to do. Could your
clouds somehow be used for this? I've a feeling that it is a possibility,
ie; white water, waves crashing, etc. I think that this would also look
real.

Ding ding! We have a winner!
I guess this shows that, on occasion, imagemaps aren't the terrible solution
they're made out to be.
I am planning, however, to create some POV code to generate semi-realistic
clouds procedurally. In my experimentation, I have made some progress, and I
think it should be do-able.
In the mean time, with time running out before the IRTC entry is due, I found a
very reasolable stop-gap solution, as all the positive comments attest to.

2 minutes?
Consider you ego boosted.

Image_map and IRTC? Bite your tongue!

Thanks for the day of hopeful doubt :-)
This one really isn't that bad, even though i'm not so sure, whether light
position of scene and image_map fit together. NTL, it's well done, the fact
that nobody was able to tell exactly that it is image_map speaks for it

But not with that rendering time :-)

I think the person who said "AWESOME ROLEX" was the most accurate this
time. Nicely done, tho. You fooled (almost) everybody!
