Altocumulus R&D

Thanks Matt, these are the most realistic, 'granular' cloud formations I've seen. We see these both as cirrus (high altitude) and altocumulus in real life ...thanks again!

Being an inveterate tweaker, I played around with these a little, and here's what I came up with.

First, after changing the cloud colour and sun angle + height, a simple adjustment of the colour shader.

Second, changed the noise flavour to ridges and added 0.5 warp.

Finally, noise is Perlin Mix 2 and Noise variation 2.

Good variations.

They don't quite look natural to me, but who cares. They are absolutely stunning! Great job.

Thanks, guys! A few more... (that's both the joy and the problem with clouds - so many things you can tweak!). You can work out how I did them by decoding the file name

No.2

And the last one.

The last one, could be a storm over the horizon.

Wow! Awesome - great hope for the next version (wonderful!) and your sharing. Thanks!

Thank you, Matt, for the clips. This is excellent.
