New Cloud Control Inputs

[Hetzen]

Excellent stuff Martin. This is actually very usefull then, as originally I thought it affected the overal Density of the cloud shape rather than it's transparency, which I realise go hand in hand, but this Final Density Shader is going to come in very handy.

I'm currently rendereing a 'new approach' to cloud forming, which atm with six buckets half way looks promising. Might have to reserect my Cloudbusting Thread.

Thanks Franck, you're welcome ^__^
What about our meet and greet in Paris?

I'll buy you a beer during the week-end dude !!!
but you'll have to drink fast because Frank is an always thirsty man
that sounds like party time in Paris

just a suggestion.....

maybe someone should make the tutorial link as a sticky in the forum....

and an off topic question for Martin

how did you get the numbers to become red and bold in the tgd?

Red and bold? How do you mean? Where?

I swear to god they are not photoshopped 

[Tangled-Universe]

ohhhh...ghehe, of course

This is how it looks when a parameter is being animated.
It gets all kind of colours, blue, green, red.

[dhavalmistry]

oh shoot....I feel like such a noob.....lol...

I have never animated in TG2....and never will until we get a dedicated animation module with keyframe editor and proper timeline and all....

So, how is everyone going after this tutorial?
Has somebody already managed to apply it to a scene or has somebody made an experiment/case study of it?

Cheers,
Martin

I have used the tutorial to come up with my render that I have posted in the file sharing forum "White Flame"

and I use it everytime I have a cloud layer...

Hi,

Not so much all kinds of colours :-), but by default:

Black for non animated params
Green for a param which is animated and keyframed at the particular frame you're on
Blue for a param which is animated but not keyframed for the frame you're on

BTW, these colours can be changed in the Interface Colours preference panel.

Regards,

Jo

Sorry, haven't looked at it yet. But I will!

I got a taste by buying FrankB's new cloud pack. Took my machine some time to get a good image. I found that power fractals will work, but it helps to modify the color output with functions that clean up the fractal noise.

I'm guessing (sorry if this is in the tutorial, I only skimmed it) that one advantage of an image over a PF is that the PF changes in 3D space whereas an image does not. Testing on my lil' ol' laptop now

Have you also read the readme? Most people won't, but I swear it will be very helpful in this case.
