Hello,

Here is an another tropical theme.
I just noticed there are some artifacts in some shadow areas and the sun halo, but this is due to the jpg compression. It doesn't appear in the original.

Amazing! Terrific clouds!

Antoine

Thank you !

For the clouds, I had to do several tests/adjustments before it looks good enough

I used some bloom effect in this image, the problem is that this gives less contrast and in the case of  a sunrise, looking at the sun, contrast is important. So I did a second render without bloom effect in higher resolution.
Personally I prefer the second one, What do you think ?

Hard to say. I like them both. What are your cloud settings? I like the sort of bumpy base of the clouds.

Dune

Indeed hard to say, both have their positives.

I used clouds fractal shader V3 for better controls. then two things essentially :

1 : I lowered the coverage gamma setting at about 0.5 to get more diversity inside the clouds.
2 : In order to get some parts of the clouds base to be illuminated by the sun, I lowered the buoyancy from variation up to 0.2, this gives the base more bumpy.

Other than that there is also the softness and param C I have adjusted to get what I wanted.
