i just want to let everyone know about 'Death Tank', a video game coming to Xbox Live Arcade soon. 95% of the sky and clouds were created in Terragen TP2 and 5% with Dreamscape, a sky & clouds plugin for Max.

i couldnt have created the sky & clouds without Terragen. though the 3D volumetric cloud renderings were quite long (even on multi-CPU machines), the results were worth it. i looked at most of the sky & cloud solutions on the PC and Terragen is truly the best of the lot.
per environment, i would render a whole bunch of different clouds of the same type, alpha it out and arrange & animate them in the game in realtime. making this game was a lot of fun and working with Ezra Dreisbach (the developer) was awesome. i was the main artist in the game and also created most of the tanks (in Max), UI frame elements, various game icons, title graphics & skull, etc.
those of you who have an Xbox360, pls check it out when its released. the game is so much fun.
cheers,

This reminds me of...I can't remember the name. But, it's very similar.
Like the clouds. ;D

"Artillery Duel", from good old C64, and the Amiga.
Don't remember that one, Frank. Not sure where I was then. But, I just had a memory flash - http://worms.team17.com/
