In case you were worried, I'm still unreasonably obsessed with clouds and getting them to look as good as possible with as few controls as possible ☁️ Using curves to set properties over normalized height seems to help, but I feel like it's not quite there yet 😅 #gamedev #unity3d #madewithunity

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!

Hell yeah that would be super helpful 😀 and ill be sure to reach out if/when I get in a mess with it 😅 thank you!

Sebastian Lague's video is generally the goto for clouds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QOc... For getting into volumetrics hopefully this can help: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P33... And @minionsart.bsky.social shared a great new post on clouds recently: www.patreon.com/minionsart/p...
