Description
Found this great hot air balloon on sharecg.com and just had to use it in a render. Thought I would have it nestled among the clouds as it floats ever higher.
Cloud banks were constructed using multiple over-lapping spheres and quite a bit of patience. Had to go back and reposition some of the spheres a number of times before the final render which was done using the super fine setting.
Thanks for viewing and any comments you wish to share.

Very original and gorgeous! Splendid creation and scene. Very well done.
You would need patience with all that cloud. Love the balloons and a ride I'd like to try. Great to see your work once more. Slowly getting back up to speed here and thanks for the happy winter wish.... Summers coming and at least where I am its sub tropical so not that cold really...winks... Excellent work...
Gorgeous work! I love how fluffy the clouds look. The balloon textures contrast nicely with the rest of the scene and the balloons have that heavy/full yet light feeling of the ones I've seen in person. I also like how you partially hid one of them.
A most excellent subject and render! Superb cloud effects and lighting! A most delightful render! Great job! 5+++++
In my beautiful balloon--what a great image!!

Beautiful scene, Keith. I can't image how long it took to render this.
Nice one, mate. Did this take long on superfine?
Excellent cloud work Keith, especially for Bryce. There's something so tranquil and relaxing about seeing hot air balloons rising through the clouds. Tony.
