One of my colleagues forwarded your request for information to me.
Visidyne's CloudScape(r) VR is an add-on module for MultiGen-Paradigm's
Vega real-time visual simulation toolkit. CloudScape VR's 3-dimensional
clouds are modeled with facetted surfaces. The bidirectional radiance and
transmission at each facet vertex are calculated for user-selected bands.
The user selects between seeing facet back surfaces or a calibrated fog
function inside of individual clouds.
Further information is available by anonymous ftp to Visidyne's ftp site at
URL ftp.visidyne.com/outgoing/CloudScape. Brochures, white papers, and
conference papers are available there in Adobe's pdf format.
