Hi ! I have made a fly-thru in clouds with 3DS. First I made a big cylinder and I map one of the sky???.tga files of the CD-Rom around it. I made the mapping almost transparent (25%) and in the keyframer I turn the cylinder. The camera is shooting in front of the cylinder so there is two layers of cloud moving : one in front and one in the back. You have to play with the .tga file to make it seam without seam. There is an utility in Kai Power Tools for that (seamless welder). The result is not that bad. It's almost realistic. After that the plane pass inside the cylinder and it's like she is in the clouds. Have a good day, Pierre Menard Montreal
