Just thought I'd throw this one out to all TS users. Has anyone figured out a way to simulate clouds in TS? Unfortunately you cannot use IFF mapping to map an IFF cloudy sky image onto the sky. ;^( However, what about somehow usiing these NEW textures, like perturbance (is that right, or is something like DISTURB?) and marble, to do the trick? One "simple" thing to try might be to make a ground object have a swirled blue and white marble texture and then just do everything either up-side-down (all things are relative in TS) or from UNDER the ground. The other would be to put yourself into one LARGE box and use the Perturbance/disturb texture to create some weird sky stuff. If you saw the article on textures in TS (I think it was in the AW Animation Special Edition), this looks quite possible. Anyone try it yet (or anything else)? Just curious.
