Re: [Algorithms] Cloud Rendering

I'd suggest you have a look at the paper "A Simple, Efficient Method for
Realistic Animation of
Clouds<http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.1.4850>"
(pdf <http://nis-lab.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~nis/cdrom/sig00_cloud.pdf> and a
video <http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3133893853954925559#> - the
video is quite nice). It talks about modelling clouds with a cellular
automata as well as how they render them.

Additionally, vterrain has an extensive list of links on clouds -
