You'll definitely need MegaPov to render this. See thread in p.b.i. for
an image. Happy rendering~

P.S. You might want to use ultra_wide_angle in your camera statement.
I'm not sure, but it may hide some of the artifacts of this technique.
If your clouds look black, try increasing max_trace_level in global
settings.

Thanks! :-) If I now could figure out how to use the codesnippet you
posted...

What do you need to know about it? The clouds start at y*100 units and end
at y*120 units. 'Ivals' is how many laters make up the clouds.

Well, I put it in a scene, added some light and a camera, but nothing...
what did I miss? :-)

I don't know..... What version are you using? Are you getting anything, or just
a black scene?

Watch your 'max_trace_level' when dealing with layered objects like this, keep
it double the number of layers for example.

I'm using megapov0.5a and yes, I am only getting a black scene ...
before I added max_trace_level 

*sheepish grin* Sorry.
