CLOUDS flufyness,scale,n shades

[user_deleted]

hi,
well i m new to fluids, i used some builtin examples for clouds but the problem is this"i need to scale the clouds,n add some flufyness in it how can i do this n second question is i want to show that sun is rising n i can see 1/4th of the planet earth ,s globe throught camera n sun is rising behind the clouds n cloud edges r getting sharp n golden......

well, I can tell you to make the clouds more dense you can turn the opacity graph up (under shading). Not sure what fluffyness means. if it's edge softness then that too is the opacity graph. change the position of the little circles aorund to see what looks bet to you.

hmmmm. well i got what i need to some extent as u told me,but as i mentioned i need some glowing edges by the sun light unable to get this result yet
n as far as flufyness is concerned i mean i m viewing clouds horizontaly n clouds r layind down a bit in front of camera so by fluffiness i mean ...aaammmmm like big chunks of clouds, i know that this defination is still vague but i hope u will get it this time

You may find that a thresholded perlin noise opacity map with very opaque clouds (make the transparency near, but not zero )helps create the fluffy look. For the silver lining effect one generally needs to use self shadowing of the clouds( this can be slow to render ). You can play with the shadow transparency on the fluid to fine tune this effect. Note that some of the cloud presets use color and incandescence gradients to help fake self shadowing. You may need to edit the color ramp when enabling self shadowing( get rid of the darker bits ).
