This question asked about the best software to produce professional fly-through animations, and included a link to a nice video of the Grand Canyon.

That video includes photo-realistic clouds in the sky. Is it possible to add clouds like this in ArcGlobe?

Here is another fly-over featuring clouds. The water reflection is a nice touch too. – Jakub Oct 5 '11 at 23:51
@Jakub very nice. I once saw a 3D demo which had moving water, trees swaying randomly in the wind, etc. Definitely not ArcGlobe though! – Stephen Lead Oct 6 '11 at 0:55

You may have to look at another program entirely. To my mind, Arc is more about the analysis than all the finer points of presentation. Even when making paper maps, we've had to edit its output to make it fit for publication. That said, I haven't used their software in a while. – R Thiede Oct 6 '11 at 6:47

I wonder if it's possible to replace the "starry sky" skydome texture (assuming that's what it is) with a "cloudy sky" one? The atmospheric halo can be disabled or reduced through the Globe Properties option, but there is no option for replacing the skydome texture. – blah238 Oct 6 '11 at 20:07
