They use "df3" media in spheres.  Actually one "df3" file rotated randomly.
There are 90 clouds here, all copies of the same cloud.  Air is a Rayleigh
scattering media, with some emission to fake multiple scattering so it would not
be totally dark in the shaded areas.  Media used only 5 intervals, ( 1 to 4
samples (was it 2 to 8?)...more intervals would make a longer render (!!!!)

Picture rendered at 1680 x 1050, antialiasing 0.1, radiosity on...only 5 or 10
samples...took about 4 to 6 hours to render on an eight core I7 with 64 bit
Windows 7 and 9 gigs of RAM.
