Is that guy's name Al, or is that a typo in the signature?

oh my.. I remember about a year ago I promised a new version of that
fastclouds.. I never completed it, partly because I needed a POV-Ray
feature that's not there: pigment-fog.. like a distance-faded
sky_sphere, which I believe scott actually put in a POV-Ray patch.
Maybe someday I'll still complete it.
Now, concerning the image :) I really love it! I actually have been in
a very similar situation where I was riding my bike to work and I looked
back, and I saw a huge dark rain cloud coming my way. I tried to go
faster to get to work before the rain reached me, but it just came too
fast :) I was soaking wet when I got there :)
Looks like mr Big Hat has a bit farther to go though :)
cu!

LoL. A typo indeed. I left it as I liked the ambiguity.

Thanks Stephen. The original idea involved a bicycle race on those
ungainly machines, but somehow it did not really take off. I like this
idea better.

I try to simulate it by using two ground fogs. Not entirely perfect but
it works more or less.

That would be nice.

Me too. I had a similar experience. :-)

Yes, probably.

This image and your last one, have really made me itch to start Poving
again.

That is excellent. Start scratching! ;-)
No better compliment than that indeed. Thank you.

The urge to try placing objects, in SDL, is growing.

I've a lot these on my /scenes/stalled folder... :(
The grass work is very good, it looks very natural in the
distribution, but the colors look a bit off for me, maybe because of the
"unreal" lighting (very realistic for that kind of stormy day).

Thanks Jaime. I agree with you comment on the grass texture. It is
over-the-top indeed and I only kept it this way because I found it a
pretty combination, not truly natural but close to the feeling that it
/could/ be natural somehow. I often like to experiment on the edge of
what can be considered the natural look but it is a dangerous exercise.
Earlier experiments were worse ;-)
