Very nice!  Not only do your clouds have very realistic forms, but the boiling works well, too.  If you want it rendered at higher res... let's just say that I have an animation license and several empty computer labs at my school right now (all the kids are on break ).  Give me a yelp if you want me to do a longer and/or higher resolution render for you .

That last video was lovely. Very realistic.

O_B, thanks for the offer, it's really good of you. But I have a new high quality version rendering right now. It'll take a while, but I'm okay with that running on a couple of spare boxes. Much appreciated.

Ahhhhhhh - nice. Thanks for that

New higher quality version roughly halfway rendered, to be seen here:

I just realised when uploaded the resolution is reduced. I'll look for a solution so it can be viewed full size. I love the raytaced shadowing on the clouds, which can be seen best in the centre cloud as the mid-fluff moves forward.

Oh, man, this looks *really* good - hopefully you'll find a place to post the higher-resolution version .

[Tangled-Universe]

This is so cool work, looks stunning!
I also hope you'll find a place to post it high-res (online file-sharer/upload site, like megaupload.com?)

Thanks for the nod on Megaupload.
