Clouds software is based on the spectral synthesis method. The method employs a variety of intuitive parameters describing natural properties of cloud phenomena, as cloudiness, contrast, wind direction, strength of wind and turbulent changes. Such wide range of controls allows a creative animator to generate all kinds of clouds, gases, mists and so forth. Resulting images can then be used as backgrounds, textures in 3-D programs or alpha channel information - to mention just a few possibilities.

The program has standardized user interface and is fully controlled via ARexx. Clouds is Kickstart 1.3 - 3.1 compatible, although its all capabilities can be achieved only under 2.0+.
