thanks gang, for all the nice things!
i had wanted to do a few more things... i was gonna put swirling clouds aboue the tornado. i was going to make a sky dome, soft select from the top-most point downwards, and animate that twisting. then, stick in a few (like 20 or so) atmospheric aparratus' with a grey cloud in them. they'd overlap and stuff, hopefully blending together. i wanted to position them all along the inside of the dome, then surface constraint them to the dome, so they'd be twisting. think that would've worked?
i also wanted to throw some green hair on the ground plane, and influence it with the tornado vortex. that would've made some sweet swirling grass!
it also would've quadrupled my rendering time, so, - no grass.
everybodies entries are looking great! it's getting near the end!!
