Clouds are a *****

Here's another shot.

Now you've got it Marc. All that is needed is a small crackle of lightening under the cloud in the distance. Very good.

Whao! That's a big, beautiful cloud!

Agree with choronr. Add a light purple light source under the cloud, right at the base. RGB 145, 72, 255 would be nice.

I'm curious as how to get that fine detail in the clouds - for some reason my clouds always end up looking.. flat and not bumpy at all, no matter where I position the sun.

Is it something to do with the noise settings or more with the lighting and density settings?

Is it something to do with the noise settings or more with the lighting and density settings?

Unfortunately with all of these aspects, that's why it's so difficult

I made an attempt on this using the work of Frank on cumulus clouds, see here please:

If you do auto-levels on this picture you'll see it has awesome details, but it is very very hard to get it just right.

Well, I suppose moving the atmosphere settings (and clouds) as the first thing to do in my new workflow was a good call :p
