Cloud effect

after thinking about my storyboard i have a few ideas for transition and atmospheric effects.

the first i have looked into is the use of clouds and how to create realistic looking clouds in 3ds max

after following a tutorial i have created this fluffy teapot

this is 2 different angles of the same tea pot so the effect works differently at different angles

i think this is a very good effect and with a better opacity map could (i did this one very quickly) it could look very realistic. so i hope to use this for my intro and finish.

i will also be using this effect for my Hercules head in the clouds

if you want the tutorial its a pdf i downloaded ask me :)
