Title: Feature Request - Vortex
Post by: sjefen on October 17, 2007, 10:02:10 PM
I've always liked those hurricane images, so I had a little idea in my head:
It would be nice if we could add a vortex point anywhere we want. (This will of course only affect the clouds). A point which allows us to set the eye-size, biggest size, drag force, rotation and stuff like that. Maybe even something to make it start from the ground so we have a tornado.

I don't know..... maybe this is impossible, but I thinks it's a great idea ;D

I would have thought some of our function wizards would be able to tackle that although there may be problems applying that kind of displacement/modification to clouds.
But either way, bring it on.

Yeah.... Maybe thats possible, but I don't understand the functions ::)
I also thought that: clouds and functions = bad rendertimes.

Anyway.... It's just an idea and I still thinks it's a good one ;D. I would have used it all the time...... almost ;).
I'm sure lots of people would make some stunning images with a option like this.
