I hate subterranean worms...

Here's a nice hydrogen gas giant planet.

I got multi-layered clouds by doing a color_map with rgbt instead of rgb, and setting the t to 1 where I want to see the land underneath. Then texture with land and then clouds.

The Gas giant has three layers; the ground just barely visible, the main cloud bands (t value around .3), and the wispy clouds.

I had a basic orange texture, red turbulence above that, and twisting orange glass clouds above that, all with texture displacment.
