Very nice!  I especially like the "silver lining" effect.

Settings are simple...because node functions elude me ???

3D Cumulus
Cloud Depth: 2000
Density: .06
# of samples: 133
Enable ray traced shadows checked

And that's about it.  Seriously.  I used the blue skies settings written here (http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=2397.0) by calico.

Oh, and of course, no visible sun disc.

First of all, cool work!

I hope the people who are trying to use your shared settings are also aware that the density fractal is also very important for the appearance of your clouds. Even more important maybe.
So don't stare blind on them like many did on the shared tip by Luc in his cumulus topic :)

Thanks for sharing them anyway Chuck, really don't mean to spoil anything here, just sharing some of my brief knowledge and wisdom ;D

Actually, that's the funny thing: The Density Shader is on default settings.  Everything is on default settings apart from what I mentioned above.

Many thanks for all the positive comments! ;D ;D ;D
