NEW APPROACH
hi all, long ago, I did not see real images of our planet.
I found a new (and perhaps obsessive), problem here.
I will see that TG is capable of creating extremely detailed clouds
(I can go from the orbit to the surface without problems), but the reality is visually different to what we can show in terragen... why?
It is very simple: our planet is full of extremely complex patterns of clouds ... and it's not a joke
These patterns are very visible and cause a huge visual impact on the orbital landscape of the planet
however, all these patterns can be recreated in TG:

Also, certain types clouds are formed only in specific areas such as peninsular areas and large islands (florida and oceania, for example)
IMHO, it makes no sense to create a realistic planet Earth, if in the end, you end up giving yourself artistic license with something as important as the clouds.
some ideas to achieve these "Located clouds patterns"?
This is an example of what I'm saying:
