No, they're separate from the main model -- I'm not very happy with this approach at this stage, as there are various problems such as depth sorting (not evident in these pics).
I'll let you know if I ever find a good solution for the clouds.

Zooming all the way in (through one of the 'windows'?), to find the guy standing there with his screen display showing the image of himself in the zoom! :lol: 8)

Look carefully at that last image and you should even be able to tell me his name. It's quite obvious , really. :wink:

You should think about what he's actually doing in the scene...

i.e. There's a big clue to his identity in the title-bar and address-box of his browser window. :)

Yeah, it's really obvious that it is YOU while you are creating this very topic.
So his name has to be "Chuft-Captain" ...

Yes, I can see he's posting in the forums here, but all I can make out in the address box is "http" something something ".php"... so either I need a newer bigger monitor or new glasses - or both. :( :lol:
