Sky, Clouds using Gradient maps

Does anyone remember a tutorial that illustrated using gradients for layering clouds and sky? The sky and clouds were modelled with spheres?

Anyone know what the hell im talking about?
TIA,
Arkitec

I think that was in the Autodesk Area forum.

Thanks, great links!
although the second one doesn’t give me the pictures.
Now I will have to start and transform this to a Vray environment, Wonder how the rendertimes will be then. (or should I wait till the next vray build, where it will be an added feature?) :wink:
