I have now found the node functions for this about rotating cloud layers..look at the image..
The functions are there and it is possible, but as I mentioned before, most other software does this with direct rotational acess,such as vue..which makes it a breeze to use, nodes are powerful..but not when it comes at the expense of having the software not capable acessing directly the more basic important functions.
Vue even has opengl direct gizmo rotational control, for hero clouds, as full global clouds.
Try inputing incremental steps and watch that renderer keep up (if you don't crash). It's jut not practical to have rotation dragger or button to be watching the results... Especially with working with V3 clouds. My system is still supposedly within TG's System Requirements and clouds take several moments before even the first phase of the preview shows. And there is a bit of computation going on to get that first phase. Me dragging around a slider or something, I'd crash, like I do a lot with cloud work. Lol
There is absolutely nothing wrong on adding incremental steps, it renders just fine in previewer, and i can watch the rotation in the renderer iterate update decently fast.
Now you are talking about dragging and crashing, now you are assuming..there is no slider or gizmo to try this out.
Maybe it is your system, I do this all the time in Houdini, Lightwave, vue...no problems at all, no crash and decently fast preview updates.
If you suggest Terragen would crash..then I suggest they need to make sure it doesn´t ..or you may need to update to a better computer system?
Several moments for you? what ..are you not activating the RTP sýstem?
And as seen on my posted image, you have to use guessworks in order to know what axis you are using for entered values, as I said..a shortcoming of the Terragen UI.
and for the record when it concerns misunderstandings..I am swedish so some things may get lost in translation and understanding the way I describe things, or understand things.
For the record about the various cloud layer versions, and as WASasquatch pointed out, this was a try on the older cloud layers, not the easy cloud layers..so that may cause trouble...but I have yet to figure out the connections there.
