Hi Lee, I needed transparent clouds for a tv-movie, I've made for my tv-station (Germany). I spent some nights on the "transparent" problem. Now I've found a good solution: I create a black/white-mask from the map-picture (for example with Picture Publisher: Very easy to mask the transparent areas!) and then, I put together the original map and the mask map in the material-editor (origial map: Texture1, Opacity: Mask-picture). Now you can reduce also the transparency of the clouds. I hope, you unterstand my "virtual English"! Bye Stefan
