That's the idea, the fact that Duna doesn't have an ocean is "free real estate" for performance so I'll spam a bunch of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Kan Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 It would be cool if duststorms could delete footprints or add some event in case of lifesupport mod is installed. Great work BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a random person Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Great looking clouds, looking forward to getting to fly through them! Now, I know nothing about how these volumetric clouds work so this might be a dumb question, but would it be possible to do something similar with smoke (a separate mod ofc)? Maybe vapor cones, explosions and reentry effects too? I have no idea if any of that is possible but it would be really, really cool.

I have ideas for smoke trails mostly, but we'll see about that later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think the old system will also be retained for backwards-compatibility and low graphics settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrack Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Some test images, distribution and shapes still feel underwhelming and are still a wip but here's some orbit shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker58th Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 3D clouds from orbit. Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandest Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 First image make me think about outside we can see when we are in VAB. Nice. Those from in high atmosphere looks a little weird but may be it cause by all clouds have same settings ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bit of that but something else feels off, not sure what. Maybe the lack of shadows, the scale is a bit off and contrast with the planet textures. Either way will do more tests later.

blackrack Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Last quick shots from tonight. I'll probably need to manually paint some maps and distribute more varied cloud types to make it feel less static/samey. You can see a quick try with some cumulonimbus in the first shot 59 minutes ago, Rakete said: Looks like having a huge impact on the FPS... ?! On a 2080 super at 1440p: Running at 200 fps from the ground and 120 when flying through the clouds. A 1060 should be able to run it at 1080p with scatterer by my estimation, I also tested with a 1060 before but in unity.

MrPoker Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 BallisticFox on Linx's discord server made a photoshopped concept of what would it look like if the Volumetric clouds combine with the New Scatter System (a new upcoming mods that adds grass etc. that will be in Parallax) by Linx and it's breathless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these sorts of clouds only going to be rendered in a low-medium orbit, and the old method used above a certain altitude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This question gets asked a lot so I should probably put a FAQ section up already. Yes there will be fades and it will be configurable so it will be able fade and switch between methods at configured altitudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
