Hey, will be there a better thermal function come? Well, in Plib there was a possibility for drawing a single cloud at the top of a thermal. But this function is lost in OSG, 3D-Clouds are not implement in OSG.
To draw a thermal you could use submodels. Maybe some "puffs", "Balls" etc which went up from the base of a thermal.
