So much to do !

Yeah,keep them coming Kadri!

As far as i'm aware no one has found a way to color/texture clouds with
PFs or any other of the regular methods yet.
Maybe by camera projection?

The colour of a fractal can be passed directly from the density fractal shader to the cloud(just delete the cloud fractal shader and replace it with a power fractal). The Black Hole posted this a while back in another cloud thread. You could then mask out that density shader using your greyscale cloud images, or any other blending shaders you liked.

Thinking on that a bit more, instead of using just a power fractal, different sized functional noise patterns could be converted to colour before feeding the density fractal of the layer. Then you could have one layer of cloud-bars, another of Voronoi, the next one a different noise... OOHHH!

LOL !
Thanks ,DandelO!
With my last setup it was easy to get color on the hard cloud object.
And easier as i thought . But as i said in the "Edit" . The colors looked off.
I will look after to TheBlackHole's file later.
My brain is melting now! Didn't get much sleep these days!
I am not sure how your setup will look like.
But it should work. Thanks
I will make another image with (hopefully) new settings.
Today i had an idea how to use it .
I hope it will be as good as in my imagination.

Good night everybody!

Yep,martinO,i remember that thread,but you don't get anywhere near the results
you get on terrain,at least i didn't.

When I used some of the Blue Marble images I managed to easily load four 21,600x10,800px image maps to the planet surface. Terragen just loves to load large objects, better than any other application I know.

Nice find TheBlackHole I remember now that thread.

But i didn't thought that i would use such a method at that time! Doh!

One of the test pictures is below.
Ones again the 3 channel 3 cloud RGB method.
Nothing major . Just playing.
Bringing color on clouds and over one cloud (for example y axis) as in my earlier test is not so hard.
But so far no luck with mapping a real texture in 3d cloud space.
It might work on power fractals.Have to try.

I would love to hear from Matt if i am wasting my time with this or not!
There is so much more potential lying beyond the surface in TG2.

Wow,I was just thinking of making a home but you built the whole city out of clouds .This is very impressive and very helpful indeed.
Thanks

It is possible now. Guys if you read until here please look about color on clouds here :
