New name for Easy Clouds?

I agree that Param C doesn't make much sense and all parameters need to get proper names, any beginner without knowing the cloud feature's history will have no way to tell what it does.
Param B is greyed out...does it make any sense to keep it then?

The actual use of Param C hasn't been fully dialed in. It's effects not fully understood, I think by Matt and the community, which is why it's there for us to test.

I am glad that this calculation is the parameter B and the parameter C, but I could not understand what effect it was just by testing.

Interesting site. :) You figure out the clouds, I shall see about DOF and f stops. In high school physics, I think I got about as far as Newton's Third Law.  :)  As I am old and gray, following the US space program develop over the years, I soon found I could never be an astronaut as I get vertigo occasionally. How disappointed was I.

Generic

Actually, that's a pretty good description. Like generics in the market, they often lack features/flexibility/control of the brand names. Easy Clouds, fit this bill nicely. They work great, but lack the finer control of v2/3.

It is an additional document.
Introduction of "multiple scattering" seems to be very successful if you look at these materials!
However, I do not know how Terragen calculates it (: D

Whoa, information overload! Thanks for posting this! *Bookmarked*

One thing I've wanted to see is surface refraction scattering from bright surfaces.
