That's really cool, although it is hard for me to visualize (ie, see through the cloud into its components). I saw a video on youtube somewhere where someone did a 3d cellular automata in minecraft. It just kind of grew and took over everything. This is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNypW-aSCmE

Thanks! If you maximize the resolution and particle opacity parameters while minimizing the particle size, it's much more discreet.

Wow, now that's cool!

Thanks! I keep hearing that. Perhaps I should change the defaults.

ditto! good thing I didn't give up before I discovered this configuration.
