Cool!
Man I wonder how this thread stayed unlocked for so long..??
Your palm trees aren't showing their transparency fully...
maybe play with
SET OBJECT TRANSPARENCY and/or
GHOST
OBJECT ON?You may find some better free ones at
www.loopix-project.com
Here is a dome object if you want to try it for a sky.
(I like it better than spheres or cubes.) Try using 2 of them
together with
SET ALPHA MAPPING ON and a couple of
seamless cloud textures, then use
SCROLL OBJECT TEXTURE. A good, cheap, low poly way to make moving clouds!
