Hi,
running some test setups with EasyClouds trying to gain a better understanding of the settings.
The renders are small and rough and already need more time to render then I have patience for :}
When I produce a really worthwhile cloudscape I`ll go for a beauty pass.
The first pictures show two 4km radius, almost identical Stratocumulus EasyClouds layered upon each other.
The main cloud has a mask (Cloud Fractal Shader) and a rather high value in the Edge Sharpness.
Smallest Scale size of 10.
The second one has no mask, Edge Sharpness of 0.1 and a Smallest Scale size of 0.1.
I found that the Sample Jitter value can be a nice modeling tool for the clouds.
The same goes for the Edge Sharpness which is more obvious to do so, I guess.
Anyways, any tips, tricks and comments appreciated.
CHeers, Klaus
ps: this is the kind of fiddling about when I wish the preview would be much faster and more accurate...
Nice, and rather compact. No tips from me, as I'm no cloud expert ;)
I highly recommend the video tutorials...

These videos explain a lot!

Very cool looking shapes imo. I'm playing with the easy cloud right now. More focusing on masks and thick settings to see if I can put cumulus shapes into more compact like floating patches.
@Stormlord - Yes, there is some good info in those videos.
@WAS - Thanks. As most of the time, I am not trying to get a specific result. Just clicking around... :P
I added a MidLevel Altocumulus Generic Cloud Layer.
The small rough version already took 45 min so, because of that I let the RTP run for about 10 min.
Has a little bit of a Toon version to it, me thinks :)

That looks really odd. Nice odd. Like an explosion of MILK.
@Dune yep, that was my first association too.
I am now leaving Cloud-Territory ;)

That milky one reminds me of a water burst, from a subsurface explosion.
Latest one... is sure... something. o.o That's crazy.
Cool! Literally.
So cool!
Worth integrating a crashed glass? ;)
(though - it would be a glass of some 1000 miles size ... :o ::) ;D )
