Hey, those are great reference, DD. Thanks. I also knew this morning (half asleep) I had made a crucial mistake in my warps (based on Y and should be on X), and anxiously going to work again. By the way, I'll probably use this as a basis for my next generation of ash cloud.

Two more tries... still working on the perfect cone.

I like the ridges/strata on the second render better. The clouds/smoke is very good.

I really like "cratertest-180611_horizontal cloud_1.jpg". The ash cloud is absolutely fantastic in that one!
Mouthwash? We don't need no stinking mouthwash!! [MI2]

I'm not done yet, but still not satisfied. The cloud is too rough, I'd like it to look more bulbous somehow. I'm also still looking for the best cloud settings for a grayish ash. I now only decreased the enviro light to 0.2, but it's not good enough.

I think the lower, near the crater cloud is really good. The upper portion where the wind and natural diffusion distribute the cloud would be better with billows.

Im having much difficulty  to do some ash "plumes" or similar billowy type smoke too. Also, I accidentally stumbled into something that looks more like a long exposure photo rather than a pure still shot, which I thought was pretty cool.  Unfortunately it takes quite a bit of time to render so progress is slow.

Anyhow keep up the good work! I hope we both get to finish this with some nice ashclouds :P

I harked back to the good old simple shape again for the next render, which I will post tomorrow. It is very hard indeed! You need the density and sizes just right to make it convincing.

Hi Ulco,

Could you send me a setup of your crater with billowy clouds?
I'd like to give it a try/go, if possible :)

Cheers,
Martin

This one is developing nicely. I like the cratertest-180611_horizontal cloud_1.jpg best so far.

Dune

Almost got it, but not quite yet. I'll PM you, Martin...

J'ajouterai quelques nuage avec des traits à la verticale.
Des jets de laves.

Dune

Peut-être. La premiere probleme c'est le 'cloud', so to speak.
