Steve, I am trying to create a scene where there is a planetary landscape with 2 moons in the sky. What I want to do is have clouds in the sky with portions of the moons visible depending upon the density of the clouds. The clouds I generated in Vistapro by adjusting the cloud settings and pointing the camera at the sky. So I have a graphic of the clouds, and I have created a planetary system, but the effect I want is eluding me. I think I should be using the Depth Buffer, but as far as post processing, I don't know what to do with the generated files. Any suggestions? Michael S. Flynn
