Thank you all so far

My only suggestion for improvement would be to animate the sun as well, so there was a clearer sense of passing time. Very impressive though.
Would this new "cloud offset" feature also be useful for stills?
You're absolutly right and actually I have prepared a second version of this animation already.
This newer version will also have a camera-move animated and a 30 degree change in heading of the sun to give it more sense of passing time.
I didn't animate the camera because this way I would only have to render the cropped summit for each frame. Saved me LOTS of hours!
Yes the offset feature is certainly useful for stills. For instance you can have clouds following the terrain, like in a misty morning valley.
Or make a lenticular cloud. Or make a gradient offset to get a diagonal-like cloud similar to a smoking volcano.

Ah, now I understand why you've been TG2-abscent more than usually 
Looks very cool Martin! I wished you hadn't restricted the cloud distribution to just over the summit, but instead let them continue to float across the scene, though

Yes indeed. I haven't been much home lately, so I anticipated on that and started an animation
V2 of this anim will have a moving camera and perhaps it is also more interesting to make the clouds follow a bigger section of the terrain.
I also want to make them more wispy/turbulent perhaps.
Cheers,
Martin
