"Mackerel" 4k render

This scene was rendered in Terragen 4.8 at 4K resolution. The altocumulus "mackerel" cloud uses a density shader, masked with a bitmap image I created entirely in World Machine. The airplane model was sourced from CGTrader.

 Feel free to check out more of my work on Instagram, and if you enjoy it, give me a follow.. I'll follow back!

It looks like a real airplane to me.

The thin line clouds look a little grainy.

Great cloud scene, but I agree about the mackerel clouds being too grainy. Cloud like that can also be done with a x (or y) to scalar, a sinus, a divide by a constant,  and warp, and a mask to keep it to a certain area.

Thanks for pointing that out, I actually wasn't sure whether to add more blur to the cloud to make it more wispy. What could I use to achieve this?
