Dedicated to Frank's fantastic work on cumulus clouds :)
I doodled a bit with one of his setups and this is the result so far...
Cheers,

Slightly different postwork
Webster's Dictionary - Cumulus Basinskus - A highly detailed cloud formation only found in computer graphics. Is well known for approximating a real photo.
Thanks Henry :)
Frank is doing a real good job on these type of clouds.
At least 80-90% what you see here is his work (base fractal and lighting).
I only slightly added 2 extra fractals and made minor tweaks to the lighting to get lighter shadows.
I rendered this with RTE enabled, detail 1, GI 2/4 and quite some samples for atmosphere and clouds to get noise-free results.
Therefore it all in all took 13 hours to render, but I cropped a bit from the original version, say 25%.
I'll try to make another one the next few days.
Cheers,
Martin
Looks like a Photo to me. The only other thing i would change if possible is some tiny-scale rigid fractal breakup along the cloud edges but not all over.
Absolutely awesome! Great work TU and Frank!
Basinskus? Wasn't he a meteorologist from Lithuania? Kidding aside, this formation is looking very good Martin and Frank.
damn fine cloudage!
Thanks guys, I'll try to make some more soon! :)

Excellent work.
