Terragen 3.4 beta clouds

[AP]

Integrating some ideas for Cumulus cloud tests with various changes in mind.

[Dune]

That looks promising.

[AP]

I am doing some more lighting adjustments, trying to make it look more real. It looks somewhat milky. Adjusting more bumpiness. I managed to rid the flat cloud tops by figuring it was a contrast issue all this time. The cloud tops look as clouds of this type should look. It took years to figure that problem out.       

[Dune]

Interesting. Maybe soften the base a bit more?

[AP]

They do look to hard edged. I will post an update later.

Looks like badly de-snowed driveway.

[inkydigit]

nice billows!

[AP]

More roughness but still not quite there.

[N-drju]

Less sharpness perhaps...?

[AP]

The sharpness is at 9, not too sharp for dense Cumulus clouds. The cloud convection causing the billowy features always tend to be sharper in density. I am adjusting the roughness a bit less. It is a bit too broken up and the billows are less prominent which is not wanted.

[Dune]

Have you used color adjust shaders yet to manipulate contrast and coverage?

[AP]

Not yet as everything was adjusted within the Density fractal shader.

[AP]

Using a Perlin ridge noise for a more turbulent look.

[Kadri]

I like test 2 more. How does it look when the clouds are less dense ?

[AP]

Test 2 is a bit too broken up so there needs to be a satisfactory in-between rough and smooth. Density has yet to be tested.
