Nice but with its own drawbacks, and there's always a risk when integrating 3rd party libraries into your code. FWIW you can try a demo of those clouds here (not sure it's the exact same thing but looks seems to use the same approach).

Yes I thought that too...as Oleg has to model transparency etc for visibility and the AI coding, using 3rd party apps is probably too complex...
