Peach needs

Enrico requested Volumetric Clouds in Peach blog. there are some questions on this request:

• Q. Where do you want to see this feature in blender GUI?
  • A. Preferably a material - so you could select between halo and volumetric.
• Q. There are many implementations of Volumetric Clouds, Do you need a special one, or it's not important.
• Q. Which one is more important? Render Speed or Realistic Cloud.
  • A. As for rendering speed, as long as its not extremely slow, i.e. doesn't make a complex scene 2x slower or more.

For more, look at Peach Open Movie: Volumetric Clouds on Blender.org forum.
