Seeking particle clouds

I found 2 recent requests for particle clouds, but no responses. Does anyone sell a particle cloud emitter, that would be similar to the Linden clouds?

I have a sky complex that is sort of a fantasy planetoid looking thing, which would look much better partially shielded by clouds.

I thought clouds or fog would alse be a more natural and polite way to block out neighboring builds. I wonder why you never see that? Would they be too laggy as a permanent barrier?

If the image used as the texture for them was kinda big-ish it could use very few individual particles and still look alright, so I don't think it'd be ultra super laggy.

I know there are 'weather systems' that do this, though no idea where to get them. I know I saw an example near the Unreal Woods sim.

Keira,

Thank you. I finally got around to tackling this again, and those key words got me to a great set. I didn't have any luck when I was trying to search "clouds."

It works very well for the floating planetoid effect, and also for politely blocking unsightly neighboring builds. I've now forgotten the name of the store: they primarily sell pets, but also carry various weather systems.

Lovely, glad you found something you like ^_^

Also, if anyone asks where you got them, you can right click> edit them, and check the creator profile. They often have picks for their stores, or say in their profile that they are a content creator for XXX
