How do I make clouds? - SLAMnesia - 08-04-2011 Anyone have any good ideas/input for making clouds? I tried for 15 minutes but this iswhat I got :\ its pathetic RE: How do I make clouds? - graykin - 08-04-2011 Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like you're using one giant sprite to constitute the cloud you're trying to make. Not being a particle system expert, I'd recommend using multiple sprites with random size, slightly random color (light gray/dark gray), and some subtle rotation as well. Something more along these lines, I think. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Puffy-Cloud-Smoke-Emitter/980819 RE: How do I make clouds? - palistov - 08-04-2011 Try using ps_area_fog_xlarge and/or ps_fog_sky. The area fog looks good as ground fog but putting some up higher in the map could pass for some cloud cover. The sky fog is a flat moving level of fog. It's only visible from the bottom though so don't panic if you can't see it from the top, just look at it from below ![]() On another note: Fog areas are more of a global thing, they look pretty awful if you're looking outside-in. Don't try to use them for clouds :S RE: How do I make clouds? - Your Computer - 08-04-2011 Judging by the image, it seems you wouldn't mind static clouds, so finding yourself a good skybox image should work out fine for you. The stalker complete mods have some awesome sky-boxes. RE: How do I make clouds? - Phoroneus - 08-04-2011 I use cgtextures.com for skyboxes. My free account lets me use whatever images I want at a limited size, which is often more than enough for a skybox. In a worst-case scenario I do some editing in GIMP and make it passable. If you're looking for more mobile, in-game clouds, I'm not sure how I'd do that, but if you just want clouds as a part of the sky your best bet is to look here: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/tutorials/level_editor/tutorial_3 |
