I wanted to create a more cloudy earth. Feel free to try these out. They are high rez so I appologise to all that have a slow connection.

It might not be a bad idea to first learn a few elementary things before you 'publish' your creations.

-- how to do URL's right such they they aqctually work. These here don't.

-- In your preceeding texture of earth you apparently have put the clouds onto the main earth texture! Why did you do this?? This way, the clouds cannot move independently. You should rather associate a special cloud texture with your clouds and learn using the right format such that they appear /transparent/.

All these things you find explained in this forum many times. Why don't you start by reading the first (sticky) post by the user JIM in this department...

There are many texture examples around from which you can easily learn how this is done in Celestia.

It is also useful to know what resolution you have used and which sources for the raw texture, etc.
