Oooohh, something's coming

[FrankB]

not a good time to stay here with no cover


hmm... again the thumbnail is much darker than the full-size view. So, check out the full-size view

[Seth]

wow !!!
great colours !!!
nice shapes too ! very nice cloud renders indeed ^^

[FrankB]

thanks, Franck

Cool image. The puffy cloud looks like the result of a building demolition.

[FrankB]

had to play with the raw output one more time....

again the full-siz view will reveal the true colors.

[Henry Blewer]

I like the latest post much better. The banding at  the corners is a bit odd... It may be jpeg.

[Seth]

yeah ! good job !!!

To borrow a title from a story from Ray Bradbury: 'Something evil this way comes...'. Those clouds are right on Frank!

[Dune]

These clouds are really fearsome, Frank. Great atmosphere! Huge and ominous. To show the immense size, perhaps a chapel on top of the mountain would be nice, or a fleeing balloon, or airplane. A little village of whitewashed or adobe-like huts/houses clinging to the mountain would be great too. Lord of the Rings kind-of stuff, you know.

[FrankB]

yeah that would be great. Unfortunately I don' t have any such models. Actually, the landscape is more a filler, to help with the sense of scale, I didn't pay much attention to it to be honest. But maybe I'll come back to it.
Actually, I'm preparing the Cumulus Pack V3 for the coming TG2 version, hence the focus is on the sky only, for the moment.

By the way, for anyone who's interested in stats: this rendered in 90 minutes at 1680px wide, at quality 0.85 and GI 2/2

Regards,
Frank

PS: I figured what the problem with the darker thumbs is. The images saved have a generic HDR profile, while they should have a RGB or similar profile.

[inkydigit]

excellent cloud structures, Frank....menacing almost!

[domdib]

Cumulus Pack V3 - nice! Very ominous. And there's a free balloon in the File sharing Frank, that would look suitably menaced by these clouds 

[FrankB]

wait, I should have an even more menacing scene shortly

[FrankB]

I took the balloon from the file sharing (thanks for that!) and made an even more menacing scene.

be careful Frank, 
YOU DONT WANT TO GET STRUCK BY LIGHTNING!!!


the clouds look really good.
