Cool work man.

Not to nitpik, but did you want to have all the cloud particles be the same radius?

Just an fyi: (for future reference)

In the particleShapes' "Add Dynamic Atributes" section, you can add a "radiusPP" attribute that will allow you to emit particles with random radii (random radius's hehe..).

You can even control the "randomness" by telling Maya to make them random between a preset range of 2 sizes like:
particleShape1.radiusPP = rand (1,5)

(I'm tired, so my syntax might be off a bit user added image

Check out our sticky Expressions thread here:

LOTS of usefull info there for you to cut-n-paste to add realism to your future shots!

Good luck!
