This post will be short, just to show the progress I am making. I am almost finished with the cloud generation. I am not using a picture of clouds that scroll by like so many other games do. My clouds are generated and look almost like real clouds. There is no repetition at all and the effect is really nice. I will post more later, for now here are some screen shots as I was working on the effect.

This is the first picture after I was able to compile and run the game. You can see the curvature of the clouds because my plane that I render them to is too close –which is not good. Also, if anyone uses ICQ, they can relate to how important those adds are; especially, when they relate to Snookie!

This is another picture after I raised the cloud plane. There is way to much blue in the shot near the horizon.

Still not working!

And finally, I am happy with this effect. I got rid of the blue hue/cloud effect at the horizon. For me, this effect is done.

And another picture of the finished product.

If I have time, I will post how this was done. Maybe, next week?
