I think is one of the best clouds i've seen made in blender... But your methods are pure madness

Right in the beginning, after scaling up your plans, don’t forget to APPLY said scale

I really like your attempt with that large, displaced mesh. However, I feel like converting the mesh to a volume and using volume displacements would be way easier and less time-consuming. If you don't know what I mean: If you create an empty volume (shift+a > volume > empty) and then go to the modifiers tab, you can select "mesh to volume", which lets you select a mesh to generate a volume from. Additionally, you can use the "volume displacement" modifier to apply displacements. On the other hand, your attempt might be beneficial for animation the clouds or getting those more natural looking shapes through the simulation. Nevertheless, great video! I really appreciate your work and cool projects!

@AlbinThorburn Ай бұрын

Yes! That's a great method. I just like the smoke sim because it looks a bit more realistic :)

Dang, really creative method to create clouds. But imo the biggest challenge is simulating cloudscape formations using real fluid sim solvers that can be seen moving subtlely in real time when rendered in animations. Seems like Houdini's the only software that can do that rn

@AlbinThorburn Ай бұрын

I’ve been working a lot with clouds in blender over the last year and you’re absolutely right! Blender smoke sim is very outdated… I’ve seen some videos where people do clouds in houdini and they’re so beautiful

Oh, those are some sweet looking clouds, great tutorial too. Skipped through most of it but the essential steps are really clear. Excellent tutorial. I would've loved to see the clouds a bit more at the end or start, to really appreciate the beauty. They're so freaking pretty.

@AlbinThorburn Ай бұрын

Thank you mate! I really appreciate that!

@davidmcsween Ай бұрын

I like grabbing the volume attribute from Geometry nodes, you can build the shapes there and convert to volume instantly. Eevee Next also allows you to apply density attribute in volume now, so it's very fast. But you loose the fluid sim. Using textures to add the wispy details consumes more ram though

is there a way to use a noise texture to rough up the rounded edges of these on a more micro level?

@AlbinThorburn Ай бұрын

Sure thing! You can do it in shading or with the volume displace modifier. Will take longer to render though:(

@bitspacemusic 17 күн бұрын

I was on frame 0. Hitting space (play) showed the smoke.. less confused now.

@EmperorKagato Ай бұрын

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. When I apply the displacement I just get very large out of place blobs even if I scale up the size of the clouds texture.

@KillerLettuce 25 күн бұрын

everything went sideways for me really quick on this video. After the random selections and extrusions, adding Solidify and Remesh did not look anything like whats in the video. My geometry looks more like the yolk from an egg and not separate at all. I have no idea why, I did everything they did in the video. Cloud kept disappearing when I changed the resolution until my graphics card caught up or something...not sure what happened.

They aren't realistic, but very beautiful. This is what truly matters, as your tutorial deserves like. If you want some shader magic, take a look for Dagor engine code. There's a sample showing procedural volumetric clouds, it's closer to reality.
