Hi,
as the title suggests this is merely one of several cloud tests
i did over the last months.Tested lots of things during these
tests,masking,transform shader,lighting and so on.
Cloud depth is 5000 btw.
Not bad. The clouds looks pretty good and everything has a great sense of massive scale too. You ought to go after turning this into a complete scene.
Very nice. Keep tweaking.
Thanks guys,maybe i'll get back to the above one later on,we'll see.
Meanwhile i thought i might aswell show you some more from this
series of tests.One of the main goals for these was not to tweak
the density,edge sharpness and coverage settings and use the
other parameters instead.Also the sun's position was not changed.
Two more.
The crater is about 4.3Km btw.
These are looking brilliant. Great work.
These are some great looking clouds.
Has anyone noticed how purple they are though? All your images appear to have a purple tint. I've looked at them on 2 separate monitors and they look purple. Maybe this was intentional but if not you probably need to adjust your monitor.
That just seems to be an effect of light being reflected back onto the ionosphere. If you have massive clouds with quite low internal scattering in relation to the size of the clouds then it massively affects the atmospheric colouring.
These are great cloud forms. They're looking very realistic.
I really like this image here: http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4863.0;attach=12861;image
It seems to have great potential!
Indeed, they're the best since Luc's. Probably better than his actually. I especially like that last one. Could be used for geysers or volcanos or something.

did you use a crater shader for the cloud???
awesome work here...agree with Moodflow
Thank you very much y'all,really glad you like them. ;D
Blonderator - The 'purple tint' is intentional.
inkydigit - nope,no crater shader for the cloud,i just mentioned the
size of the crater below the cloud(s) to give you an idea
as to how big the clouds are. ;)
They are all using the same cloud fractal with almost the same cloud
and atmo settings.The first and the second are without any blending/
masking,the others have an image (a blurred white circle on black bg)
mask attached,with camera projection from above or below.
If anyone wants to know more,go ahead and ask.
Thanks for your interest,J.

AAhhhhh I see, very cleaver :)

Beautiful clouds very realistic!
Thanks Richard and Phylloxera. ;D
Hi again,
here is the tgd for the towerlike clouds from the first page.Just
unzip it and you get a folder that contains the tgd and the
image,which should load fine,if you leave the files in the folder.
The render settings are still from TP5 so maybe you want to
change the ones under the extra tab to your likings.
Have fun,J.
I can't wait to try these. Thanks.
You're welcome! ;D
thanks a lot...look forward to tinkering with this!
