Hurricane Study v2

[nvseal]

I decided to have another try at hurricanes again. This hurricane mask is MUCH better than the one I used a few months ago; and the color adjust shader works wonders  . This is the first decent test of this setup. There are three cloud layers. Two for the hurricane itself and one for some small clouds to compliment the storm. It is not quite where I think it should be but it's geting pretty close (at least from this angle anyway  ). Sorry for the size but this is just a test.

I know you say this is only a test but the detail is lost in the brightness towards the right of the image, which is a shame as it looks impressive.  Roll on the finished article

If this is just a test, I really look forward to the finished product. It really is starting to look pretty good.

Very nice .  This is indeed quite a nice mask.  I still think that it would be cool to generate it all internally, though.

As do I. Any ideas? 

[Sethren]

That is very convincing. Good job. Lower the exposure a bit and walla.

About doing it internally, well... http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=3001.0

I guess some one will figure it out.

This is nice.

Yeah, unfortunately building things with function nodes seems a bit awkward at the moment.  If I ever get the chance, I might just see if I can't build a basic model of something like this.

[nvseal]

I certainly hope so. Sadly, I just don't have the math skills needed, yet. I would love to see what you can come up with if you ever give it a try.

how big is your mask??...it looks great!

[gastar]

very nice, I like this image

[Will]

nice, looks realistic I agree to bright though.

Here is a full render from another angle. I'll render the full version of the first image later (probably over night). The mask is  5600 X 4200 pixels. I lowered the exposure a little for this one but I don't think I really did enough so sorry about that (although I don't think you'll missing much detail anyway).

Oo amazing stuff !

[rcallicotte]

Cooool.
