Hi all,

I just ask here since I'm definitely no advanced-user but had to do with 
POV-Ray 3.1 quite extensively just a long time ago :o)

I want to know how I can produce a nice "visible" sun and nice clauds.
Of course, there are some standard clauds (-> sky_sphere), but I found a 
really brilliant picture on povray.org where I really do not know how to 
reproduce it......

a brilliant sun:

some brilliant clauds:

Does anyone have a tiny example code for me?

Thanks in advance,
Christian Parpart.

Wait a few days for code of http://10best.raytrace.com/short2/pto_800.jpg
It is only 243 characters of code.

Why a few days? Hae? Did you create that nice picture? Well, I'd be happy 
with the source as it is ;)
However, thanx anyway :D

The author (Christoph Hormann) is currently on holidays but you can try to
drop him an email.

Actually this is a picture made with Terragen.
Not that there's any prohibition about using a Terragen-generated bitmap of
clouds in Povray because it's fast, nice and easy.
Volumetric clouds are not easy to create directly in Povray but have other
advantages (see the stacks method by Jaime Vives Piqueres here
http://www.ignorancia.org/tipstricks.shtml)

Becouse page with results of second round of Shortest Code Contest is not
ready yet.

Sorry, I don't understand this question.

No, I have only power for rendering.

Source will be as is. There are other reasons for delays probably. Patience is
a good habit in pov-world :-)

"Hae" = "Hugh"
as you'd probably say "hugh?" it is also common in germany to say "hae?" 
whenever something seems mystic for you :-P

  Okay, I think it would be 'huh?' to English speakers.

In a thread entitled "Sun and Clauds", you're worrying about the spelling of
"huh"? Getalife ;)

A lot depends on what you want your visible sun to do for you and the
solutions range from simple textures or objects to complex
function-media-object-texture-photon-dispersion stuff.
I put a couple of examples up in p.b.images. Hope it helps.
