Hey, if you want to make skies, i suggest not modelling them.. but using a image as your background.

(View>Camera attribute editor>Enviroment tab>image plane) then add the sky images and position the camera kinda where you want it at.. and it will render it into the bg. I dont really know of another way to add a background. If you want to model it, probably with particles.

Do you want to fly throught them?

Or are they just for backgrounds etc?

If they are just for backgrounds, there is a great tutorial on the A|W site regarding the use of the ENV Sky node here:
https://www.aliaswavefront.com/en/Tmp...dering_m.html#

Also, downloadable A|W sky images can be found here:
https://www.aliaswavefront.com/en/Tmp...ronment_m.html

Otherwise, 2d photographs of a large sky(s) are freely available at many texture resource sites.

Do a search on this site for sky textures, or just textures in general, and you can go from there user added image

If you want to fly through them, that's a WHOLE other ball of wax user added image

Lemme know...

for fly through clouds you can use PaintFx ....
press 8 to go to Paintfx mode hold space and
choose Canvas->paint scene
Then from paintfx tool "options" make sure that
"Paint at depth " is checked on.
Use the Visor to choose a cloud brush, adjusts the brush size
switch to perspective viewport and you "paint in
depth ..." . You can fly through and have "real"
clouds around you... Warning... Paint fx is bad for the cpu load...
use with wizdom and only when necessary... user added image

otherwise i suggerst imageplane backgrounds too....

You could also use thr program Terragen to create a sky and then use )V( 's method to place the image into the scene.

Download Terragen Here

Just a thought
