I could be that the cloud is much larger than the area you wish to have covered. Try the measure tool (it looks like a vertical ruler) it's at the top of the preview window. Measure across the preview window and see how large that is. Then check the scales of the cloud. The cloud scales may need to be adjusted.

I'll try it right quick, but the only thing i can remember available to control scale wise is the height and altitude.

197.23 meters wide
889.035 meters deep

I found that i had inserted the cumulus layer as 3d (volumetric) and i have now switched it to 2d and trying that. Plus I used a distance shader to crop the cloud to what I can see.

You'll want to change the density fractal part of the cloud. There is the feature scale, the lead in scale, and the smallest scale. The feature scale is the size. The lead in controls the coverage size, and the smallest scale is for detail.

i'm trying to work some more on this project. i've just run into a problem getting falling snow into the picture. I figured dense clouds but I can't seem to get it right.

This is what I got. I suppose it could be snow....if there was a really high wind blowing in the direction the camera is facing.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas as to how to get snowfall in TG2.

I attached the TGD for this image.

I like the last render the best. The snow looks ok, it can't be easy to do it. The lighting and the rest is very Christmas looking.
