Andrew, I'm in basically the same position you are–a beginner with this type of 3DS rendering. Your best bet is from others here who have already replied with helpful suggestions. As I understand it, the basic challenge is to edit your materials (clouds map) for desired transparency, to use ray-tracing in your shadows, and (optionally) to consider using a mask over the cloudless areas. Good luck, Lee
