Clouds Macro
I'm currently working on a macro to produce clouds. It s not finished yet so I cant post anything but you might find the principal interesting.
Currently I pass the macro a Size,Count, Samples,Seed and Flat-Bottom parameters.
Size is the length of the side of a box in which the could will appear ( the macro returns a box with a cloud in it).
Count is used to produce a blob made with a number of spheres equal to the count. This Blob is then used in an object pattern media statement in the box.
Samples is the number of samples used by the media.
Seed is the random seed value used by macro to place blob elements.
Flat-Bottom if true, is used used to move most of the blob spheres in the bottom third of the box, upwards, in effect flattening the bottom of the cloud.
Overall its going quite well. But sadly as media takes so long to render the macro is going to take a lot of effort to perfect. I will post it when finished.
