whatcha think? I had a Altocumulus cloud layer, and the only changes i made was cloud depth at 1056.46 Nothing else was changed. it looks like what you could get sometimes in TG 0.9 Also, where could I get better trees? I would like some without leaves if possible

Very nice result. The "enable primary" and "enable secondary" settings act very much like the same settings in the atmosphere, explained here: http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=958.msg9487#msg9487

So what you've basically done is turn off the primary appearance of clouds (the clouds themselves) while maintaining the shadows.

You may have hit on a way to create a type of aurora borealis!

Thanks; I wish I was that clever, but it's already been done. Take a look at the attached TGD file

I've been wondering about what happened to njen too. njen used to be one of the top posters but randomly and unexpectedly disappeared a while ago...
