Can anybody tell me or show me a good tutorial for making 3d clouds? Help is appreciated.

"3D clouds" are usually made up of a series of camera aligned billboards and particles.

You mean clouds like in the sky or clouds as in dust particles?

Clouds in the sky plane are usually 2D "cloud" images with an alpha layer. They are then layered and set to move at varying speeds to give the impression of cloud depth. I haven't created anything like duststorms yet in my prototyping and haven't deconstructed how Tim Aste did it in his content packs either.
