Rainclouds

[Dune]

I did some experiments yesterday with clouds.

nice effect!

This is very realistic !

Could you also try with some more dense and sharper clouds like cumulonimbus for example ?

[choronr]

Impressive rain clouds Ulco. Here in the desert, we occasionally get 'virga'; clouds that drop rain that evaporates before it hits the ground.

I found a photo that I would like to 'make', so I'll get going one of these days. By the way, it's been made from one cloud layer, by deducting and warping a billowed cloud from the underside of the cloud layer, the height restricted by a Y-warped distribution shader. Even tilt and shear works with a warp shader I found out.

Another version, not quite what I wanted though.

[Tangled-Universe]

Cool!

[inkydigit]

the last one is like a crashing wave... would not want to be near that when it collapses!

[cyphyr]

I'd have said more like Morning Glory Clouds.
Impressive work

It's too wild, and there's a sharp edge halfway where I used a too sharp distribution shader. I'm working on another one, where I push the further cloud up by a warped distribution shader, and bend the edge down, displacing it in ridges. Hope I can get it to work on a single cloud layer, without even using the functions (which slow rendering down).
