Hi

Thanx for feadback!

they were linked by using the same integer value CloudMovment or so. If you 
changed the incrementation of that, it affects both.

checked.

thanks. i will check that tomorrow. today i'll be home very late.

That's fine tuning. I set it to "very turbulent" so you guys see what i mean by 
"dynamic clouds" ;)
I've put variables with self explainig names.
To drive my aproach even further i'd like to aply locally differing wind speeds 
but that would maybe look better on the water.

When I look out the window I see a house beeng built. That takes at least 8 
months now ;)

I know. i will test performance and look with max(0,min(255,alpha))

How about bigger clouds? The smaller they are the finer i have to paint them 
and the slower it gets.
