hi dude... thanks for answering my question, is there a way for me to generate clouds like that? is there a tool to create clouds or any other effects...? ciao!

If you have a copy of photoshop, you can use render > clouds. The only problem with this is that you'll be ridiculed by photoshop experts, as well as those who can draw clouds (myself falling in neither category)

Clouds like this are made with a 3d program with a particle generator. I've been in love with this effect since v2 of 2A's site, but being on a mac have never had the ability to create anything like this. I want to say the program would be Maya, but i could be wrong. If anyone has a generic .swf like this and doesn't mind posting it please do.

You may as well just use a tripod and a digital camera! There were 58 frames used to make those clouds. The total file size for that file was 252k which is a pretty hefty file for just a fancy effect.
I have seen a smoke effect made with FLASH which was very similar to these clouds. I would think one could play around with this, change the colour and slow down the animation on the smoke to get very close to having clouds instead. It would definately be a smaller file size as it would be a vector!

Im doing great with my percey pea engine but i need more examples.
Can someone give me the .zip to blink's racing engine with elvis and everything? I already looked in previous posts but the page with the .zip has expired.
Im working on my senior thesis for college. I only have 19 more days and i really need that fla. Please help me out. At the moment my game is fantastic. Anyone who wants to see it email me at : [email protected]
I combined Strilles, Blink's, Pivot3's and Percey Pea's engine to make a kick ass flight simulator. My map works great..my models are in 3d ala swift3d ver.4 and the dynamics are getting better each day. But im working on the enemies and for some reason when i put the t0 / tree/grass model to move on a motion path within the map...it moves for only 3 seconds and then it stops on my screen. It only keeps moving if i nudge forward or backwards. Does anyone know about this. I also wanted to have the enemies (tanks) to shoot back at me. My "car" is a hovercraft/jet and i programmed four gun barrels to shoot gateling rounds into the distance. Its very lovely.. but i dont have a page to host it on.8( Blinkok, Percey Pea (if your there), or strille. Contact me if you can. Anybody with knowledge on these rarities please advise me as well. Ill give credit where credit is due. Thank you all.

That is probably just a time lapse from a video camera. Looks too good to be made.
