Nice! clouds are so hard to get right

Thanks! And yeah, absolutely 😅 Oddly enough, the technical aspect is the easy part, the authoring and overall "shaping" to get nice skies is much tougher

Completely out of pocket question but in theory how hard do you reckon it would be to make an ocean out of volumetric clouds? Like with moving waves of cloud. Ive had an idea for a game/art piece involving that for years but Im so shader illiterate despite a decent amount of years doing 3D 😂

Weirdly enough I did something like that way in the past 👀 if you're familiar with raymarching for clouds and setting up waves (in this case it's Gerstner waves) you can easily get there. It's worth mentioning that this particular example ran at ~10FPS though, but it was a very quick and silly test

Oh wow 👀 what a coincidence 😅 Thats a huge help at least now I know where to properly start looking, thanks!
