Hey guys I am wondering with functions etc if someone could please try and turn a planet object into a shape similar to this

I need it badly for a cloud scene :-[
cheers jack
Have you tried using a really big crater ??

I tried with a big crater. There is room to modify.
Kadri.
cool! this works but I cant seem to get the clouds to follow the terrain ???. shouldnt the clouds dip in where the crater is? (i am trying to make a mushroom cloud)
I think the clouds map to a sphere. Isn't the atmosphere just another sphere? ???
Anyway, could you duplicate the planet sphere and apply an atmosphere to that? Not much help. This is something I have never tried.
is their away to bend the sphere the clouds sit on into this sort of shape?
Wetbanana, i don't know TG2 so much ...
Making thick clouds and with a distance shader above the center of the crater to make them there go away ... maybe this would be doable ? :-\
This is all i can think of...
Kadri.
How about cheating? Put a large metacloud (?) on top of a smaller one for your mushroom effect. Then mess with it until you like it.

I havn't played with this for some time but it can be done with a greyscale image map of your terrain - see bottom of the above thread wow.jpg
