Personally I would really like to build my own stuff almost from scratch and not relying on cloud presets too much, or should I say, the UI workflow shouldn´t have to rely on Masters that created preset to overcome bad UI. Thanks Luc, and welcome to the forums with admiration, your stuff is some of the great ones.

The workflow of simply running a simulation, then check wich frame or frames look good, then do other simulations and do the same, then go in to those cache folders and and reload various cache files on separate new containers to have some nice cloud variation samples, and only save the specific frames that you think look good, keeping full simulations will surely need some hard drive space.įirst tries some weeks ago, I will get back with terragen samples later perhaps to be on topic You don´t have to go with the minus frame render and zero frame stepping. The issue I see when trying to tweak, that is no multiscattering response in VPR, I hope that can change for the next lightwave as the render should be the same, and the illuminate smoke is still quite slow in turbulence, and that is where the real realism kicks in for proper lighting.

Yep.I can get cloud shapes very nice in turbulenceFD since I know how to tweak the noise and fractals pretty good now, though I need to verify it on larger scales which also means completly different settings in the surface texture scale, what I usually do is to emitt the fluids from a surface procedural texture, in the emitter tab, and also use another fractal layer with maye subtractive or difference layer mode, that will result in the cloud density raising in not equal layers, just as clouds have variations on the heigh, and I got me a good setup for setting opacity shading nicely as well, slight vorticity is also almost necessary.

Yep.the previewer is a bit faster now in the RTP mode, there was much talked about that in the 4.0 version.but at that time I still thought it was a bit slow, now it seems to be quite a bit faster, both versions tested on my new asus rog system, final render seems much faster too, so this time they really have worked on improving that it seems.Īnd the cloud renders are way superior to those of vue, the edge softness the actual density fractals and also the scattering and shading within clouds, along with the actual sky and sunligh models, I wish they could work a bit more on the interface though, and some terrain sculpting tools ala vue.īut if I would go for the best cloudy cgi skies, this would be it, unless doing some hero clouds or such which would require fluids ala turbulenceFD or blenders fluid smoke.

Heres some old stuff.showcasing some effects on the sky when you add the sk atmosphere, though it would look better for night I think with preetham model.There is a new Terragen 4.1 update release out now, just installed the free version and I am in the process of comparing agains the 4.0 release.

Jwiede.I think those issues might be a thing of correcting the exposure, and also set model to preetham, and some other tweaks.might show somethings later. in the volumetrics tab.you can add the sunsky atmosphere, which will boost the sky a bit with some mie scattering, Haze etc. which I think looks a bit nicer at almost night scenes.įurther more, you can also turn that secondary light in to a volumetric light and use that as sundisc, and even more. I will try and record and showcase this later.Īlso.you might want to try the preetham model. You can not get a realistic sundisc with sunsky alone, map a lensflare to it with the help of the scripts that follows with sunsky, or add another pointlight to the scene, enter motion options and add the sk_sun motion modifier, it´s a bit whacky if you try and tweak it since it doesn´t seem to update properly with vpr, but it works.
