That was pretty impressive! How did you animate the clouds?

Nice work!
If I had to guess as to how the clouds were done, my bet would be animated texture alpha-mapped on a plane. At least, that is the first method I would try. :)

Clouds are just an animated .avi used as a background texture with the image background shader in TS. I created the .avi in Cybermotion 3D designer. Animated background can me created in TS with the Infinity2 Free plugin but it takes more time and effort than Cybermotion. :jumpy:

Where can I find Cybermotion? Sounds like none-tedious piece of software! :) (Infinity2 looks a bit complexed for me lol, unless there are some tutorials here someplace.

wow....would you say it's worth the money?......and time?


Easy to use also? (other than Infinity2 which is indeed confusing)
