I cheated!

It's different colour cloud layers.

That's not cheating, that's creativity. 

Indeed! There is no such thing as cheating in T2TP...

Well, Heres my effort for what its worth 
Had to give up on the first attempt, started the render on friday afternoon at 4:00 pm and when I came in on Monday morning at 8:30 am, it wasn't even half way through    Ho hum

Anyway, here it is. Not at the quality I wanted (see above)

[DiscoBall]

oh man...those clouds are GOOD 

Mmm, the bottom contrasts a bit though, but that may be quality issues , and when you render out on max it should be good

Also, the bottom low lying clouds you should make foggier like the clouds above-that'd be awesome then

And if you used grass particles/models near the end, where there is low lying cloud, that'd give it a more 'rougher, detailed' look.

Great job! I was really impressed with the clouds!

[mr-miley]

Discoball. Ta very much. Glad you like the clouds... I must admit, I was pleased with them too. I agree with your comments. The "mist" clouds should be .... well... mistier (is that spelt wright?) but I think that that is partly down to having to knock the cloud samples down to get the damn thing to render, and I was too lazy to re render with the density knocked down further

Ok, here's my image, after struggling with the displacement, trying to get rid of those jagged spires jutting out of the terrain I've given up.

Great effort with the clouds

are you talking about the spikes on the right? the ones on the left look ok to me

[Volker Harun]

Great clouds and overall sky. The spikes are mostly an issue of the colour-roughness inside the colour tab of the power fractal shader. Set it to 1 or lower.

[rcallicotte]

ProjectX - nice overall picture.  I like everything about it.

[Dark Fire]

Those last two pictures are amazing. Both, among other things, have great clouds...

cool thanks for the tip, I'll have a fiddle with that slider and see what i can come up with.

my first try,[attachthumb=#]

Clever idea!  I love the detail you've added to the terrain.  Nice work overall.
