Use Amazon AWS
In order to download any file, not just images, documents, etc. you will need a service like this. It was a pain to set up, but seems to be worth it. The S3 storage option has a free option that gives you 5 GB of data, plenty to test service. The pricing is incredible complex, so I do not plan on going past the free limits.
Once I got it up and all the public setting correct it works as advertised.

Very Carefully follow the instructions.
1. you must sign up with a credit card, but you can pick the free option. It was a pain.
2. S3 is NOT Glacier S3 . Make sure you pick the S3 option.
3. Make sure you set ‘Make Public’ in Object Actions at upper right after uploading a file.

If anyone has a comment, or suggestion for a better FREE service please let me know.

how to make a night sky background

========================================

easy procedural clouds – Materials – Shader
========================

eevee clouds –

use Blender Materials.blend
Very good, but for experts only
Quick clouds – worth trying
start – uses Blender default scene and the cube

– everything is procedural, node abased. sky is not HDRI.

BEGIN CLOUD (CUBE) CREATEION

create World gradient very important
-see my background setup

Force fields
Blender Made Easy https://youtu.be/TPxb60TjNcw
– samples of all froce fields. use forcefields.blend

– work with pretty much everything

00:33 – turn any object into a force field with physics tab

b-3510-Material Library VX script.

Material library

One of the most important aspects of blender, as you become more advanced, is to have it organized so that you can find things. As you become more experienced in blender, he will add many new materials to your drawings. These materials will be of different types colors and many other categories. As you get more and more of these materials they become harder and harder to manage. This is especially true when they’ve spread out over many different blend files.

The material library takes care of this problem. It allows you to create one, or many, libraries to hold your materials. Once created, these libraries are accessible to any blend file.

Blender has a new add on called the material library VX. I have blender version 2.92, and the add-on was already installed. This caused me a great deal of trouble because I assumed that it was installed, and I did not have to go look at the add on. That was a major mistake .If you wish to use this add on you must understand how it works, and that is what this tutorial is  about.

================================= 

Start up blender with the new general layout. We can use the default cube as the object we need to look at a material. So select the object, scroll down the screen to the bottom. You will find the materials tab there. If you do not find the materials tab there that means that the add on has not been installed and you will have to go install the add on.
