It was a test I did over 3 years ago - I don't have the file anymore, sorry

No, there are only 7 or 8 spheres

Hello, I like how you created these clouds. I was wondering if you could explain in detail how you did it because I'm making a movie and need to create some very realistic and animated clouds for a few scenes?

Thanks

@VegasActor1

The idea was to create an illusion that clouds are changing shape. To do that I created a few spheres,all different sizes, then deformed them , so they are not uniform. After that I covered them with particles(played with the settings a little ). Then I animated them, mostly rotation. Afterburn settings are not animated. As I mentioned before, I used two different settings, but it's not necessary .

As you can see I used standard MAX's background for the sky.

The most difficult part was to choose the right Afterburn settings, but it's the trial and error process, you just have to play with it a bit
