Hi to all, just thought i would show of my cloud model with inverting texture, that uses my cloud shader too.

Well after searching the forums and the net for the last few days, i gues i must be the first to creat this fully evolving texture cloud,

This is part of many clouds and other weather entities that im puting together for an all weather enviament system, wow that was a bit of a mouth full
In the you tube video it shows a bit chunky on the faces but i will increase to make smoother,

and so with thes clods i then add my snow entities and it looks very nice
And now im just gonna finish on my ocean wave shader and textures.

This is a great idea. I would have never thought about this. Could you also use a flat plane with pictures of clouds on them as well and have a shader "move" them like the water in 1.18?

yes raymondlee306 you can use flat planes or pictures, its what size you would scale them too

infact you should be able to use about any entity or segment that can use shaders of water and so on, they may all not look nice and may cause a lot of light issues on the models,

as shaders work properly with the right group set of textures and setting up lights, example of textures

I feel like clouds would be very easy to make in FPSC. Im not very good at modeling but all you would need to make is a 3d model of a cloud and texture it. Then using waypoints, move the clouds across the sky...

Obviously you could make this more detailed for a better effect, but this would be a quick way of doing this..

Or you could just use sky scroll feature in fpsc to have moving clouds.

Thx sic1ne .

I do have many other textures and models to use with my cloud shader,
as for the texture one in the demo vid i put more grey to it so i could see where abouts the shader is pushing and pulling the texture, as when i use a more white texture it becomes harder to see.

The model are easy as mentioend. but the trick is not to make them to fat, as the shdader then shows more of the sides moving and doe not look as good, so its a balalnce,

as for moving them they will be done by script instead of using way points then i can have more control.

I shall put some other updates on here soon

I just thought i would do an update , with other texture and also with my rotating script,

i will show another vid from my other script showing of the clouds moving across and around the sky without using waypoints.
