| I had the version 0.94 in my PC, and it didn't work well, because my computer, in theory, is not prepared for gaming, and also I have never formatted the disc, but when I tested it in my brother's computer (that is quite better than mine) It worked with some problems but it was playable, and I was fascinated when I saw that clouds in 3d 
Now I have got the 0.95 version -and I must say you have done a very good work in optimisation, because it works also in my crappy computer-, and when I test it in my brother's computer, the clouds are only a flat texture with no random meshes (as the land ones).
So there's the question: Is it a problem with my configuration, or you removed it because it affected too much the performance?

| Well the clouds are only 2d atm, but 3d clouds has been confirmed to be added in a later version. (http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/21-11-1)

| Clouds in SE never were 3D. Maybe in 0.94 the cloud mesh had bigger height displacement on some planets - I've reduced it, because it has visual artifacts. Don't worry about looking at flat clouds over a short distance, in later versions they will be blended out and replaced with 3D clouds.

| Well, I think I didin't express correctly. I didn't see 3d particles of clouds or something similar. When I said 3d I mean they weren't flat, they were rough like the landscape.

| Bump map on the clouds are fake, it looks horrible, and I'll remove it (but leaving lightting effect from this bump map).

| Here are some truly lovely real-time rendered 3d clouds. I guess this is way over the top of what you are planning Vladimir, maybe it can serve as a kind of inspiration to your mind or programming ideas?
Includes beautiful light-shafts as well... see here:

| Quote (DevonX) post pictures if you can.
Sorry. I started the old version again and attepted to have a screenshot, but I couldn't find the planet where I saw the clouds (because it doesn't happen in every planet).
