Thanks Guys! Hannes it's an interesting suggestion with the higher density. Turns out to not only did it solve a lot of the issue I had with the clouds, it apparently even changes the formations as well. Render "2" is with the same seed just increased the density by 0.3. Render "3" is a different seed altogether which I liked a little better. I'm not exactly sure where to start with color on them and no time to experiment today, I will post results on that at a later time. Thanks for the tip!
Dune I don't know why I didn't think of experimenting by an altitude mask, I did indeed merge two flavors of noise experimenting early on. I wasn't getting the results I wanted but for sure some interesting terrain,, maybe too interesting to be natural. By altitude I could maybe do more with it.
Stormlord and denders, thanks for the kind words! denders I'm living proof that just sticking with it will reward you pretty quickly. I see you are from TN. That is where I hail from nowadays.
