Rolling clouds on models

[tevans2]

I am trying to make one of my models look as if its made of rolling cloud forms. I do not want a texture and particle clouds are coming up short. I am presently working in fluids. I Can make clouds in the 3d container and I can make my model into an emmitter inside a container, but I cannot do bothe. I cant get my model to emit anythig but fluid- I cant seem to make that fluid into a bunch of cloud forms. Any ideas?
Yes what I want is much like that airline commercial fo dolphins make of clouds like at this link
