you can start by looking at the Puffball example in the visor presets. delete the animation on it at the best size frame, or the biggest it gets. Delete the transform keys and work from there. That's the way I'd start to get that look. You could try a dynamic approach but that's a lot more to explain.

I am doing something similar, but I need to render the clouds as a repeating cycle ...10 or so frames.

any way to get that to happen?
