Title: cloud angle
Post by: groverwa on February 22, 2007, 06:23:26 AM
Gday

Is there any way of lifting the front of a cloud to illuminate the cloud better - wind shear or lift over a mountain or range as happens in nature??

This would enable the sun to act on the cloud better and make it glow in a sunset situation.

For lighting up clouds you usually go for the following:
Sun Glow Amount is 4 or higher
Sun Glow Power is normal

Light propagation mix is getting very high

Then I turn down enviro-light for fine-tuning.

Currently there doesn't seem to be an easy way to manipulate cloud shape by keying off the terrain. This sort of functionality will hopefully be extended for the final release. Certainly general cloud control will be improved and with the additional flexibility some way to achieve this may be made possible.
