A few changes to the settings, and using even better imagery for the texture maps, I got this. The images can be found at Tor Oera's site.

Wow. thanks for sharing this. I've thought about picking up training material for "other" 3D apps and applying it to Houdini too. This Fundamentals dvd would be interesting, but at 82 hours and given all the training material i already have -- and don't seem to get to -- it seems like it'd be a waste.
other than that, are the clouds moving besides rotating around the earth? if not, how about using procedural noise and animating it?
