I try to create the perfect clouds, here my latest result....

wonderful clouds, very very realistic. well done.
Very nice :).
Very realistic.
Fantastic clouds. It looks like a real photo.
Indeed very well done. I'd say that there is very little real tweaking that you'd need to do.

You're getting there. I think they're still a little rough, if you can make them smoother they will look much better. Not that I'm one to talk, of course.
thanks for your comments
currently I render this picture with a second cloud layer and some other parameter' s, I will post it when its down...
info: athomsphere sample 32, cloud sample 1024, render detail 1,.... the rendertime for the first picture was 25 hours, the new picture resolution is 4000x3000 pixel, the pre dot rendering runs since 32 hours.... I am waiting...
my render machine is a Athlon FX 57 2,8 GHz.... its a fast CPU but for tg2 to slow.... ;D

Very nice looking clouds, you're on the right way I guess :)
Looking forward to see the next version. 32h and the pre-pass isn't finished yet? That's going to be a hell of a render-time. What are all the settings? Perhaps rendering at smaller size would make more sense....unless you want to have it on poster ;D
Yes, I will use the next render for a poster (80x60cm) in my kitchen.... I hope the render will be good...
I think the render need 100-150 hours or more....
pre-pass is 4/5 finish
athomsphere sample 32, 2x cloud sample 1024, render detail 1, AA 3, GI 2, size 4000x3000
Ah I understand, thank you.
The rendersettings are quite fair. Only thing which I think would speed up the render quite a lot is to lower the detail setting to about 0.85 or so.
I think you'll hardly see the difference and it will probably render almost twice as fast.
Don't understand me wrong, no offense here, just trying to be helpful/thinking along.
if you want smooth clouds....lower the density below 2, increase the edge sharpness to around 9 or so and also increase the smallest scale to about quarter of the feature scale
Dude, these clouds are perfect. I wouldn't change a thing.

thanks.... but wait for next render.... :)
so the pre-pass is finish after 36 hours.....
Cool work. I like the really wide aspect of the render. Great light, air and space. Very nice clouds.
