Creating Realistic Hurricane Images

[I Fix 4 U]

Ok I see

this picture and all and i don't remember that hurricane which led me to beleive it was computer generated as a prank or something.

Regardless of whether it is real or not is it possible to computer generate an image like this using a program like photoshop? i could have a little fun *evil horns*

Whoah, nice. How do you do that?

We could turn this into a fullblown HowTo eventually

It looks like Jeanne or Francis from last year. That is a satellite IR image - probably taken at night.

This is the latest IR image from Dennis:

And visible:

Yah but i didn't know it was that big o well i guess it is real, so nvm then but still how how make realistic hurricane images that'd be cool besides they do it in the movies anyway

This was done with Paint Shop Pro 7 and Animation Shop. I just copied the hurricane and pasted it into new layers of the background image and rotating at 10 degrees in esch frame.

Looks like a funny comic but not as real, i'm sure photoshop has a blending option to make it fit better into the background image, I've done something like that blending before but not with a rotating hurricane image. If i could figure out how to get the rotating hurricane image in (or create a hurricane and make it rotate w/ distortion) and then attach it to the map it would look really neat.

Anyone seen "The Day After Tomorrow" thats kinda what I want.
