Painted Skies

Features

The Painted Skies cloud type uses the Soft Clouds as a base but then adds a bit more detail to the mix by multiplying the cloud density by a user defined texture. This leads to a very nice, semi-realistic stylized cloud structure.

Seven Cloud Types

Cumulus Clouds

Soft and fluffy these voronoi noise based clouds that lead to stylish skies.

Provide the basis for cloud coverage.

Altocumulus Clouds

Super high-altitude clouds that can add a touch of detail to your scene.

Based on the same noise structure as the cumulus clouds but smaller scale.

Chemtrails

More precisely known as "contrails", these clouds are a result of moisture condensing on jet trails.

These clouds are also defined by a texture.

Cirrostratus Clouds

Noisy high-altitude clouds that signify cold temperatures, low humidity and heavy wind.

These clouds are also defined by a texture.

Cirrus Clouds

Windswept stylish clouds that can add a touch of flavor to otherwise clear skies.

These clouds will follow high winds.

Nimbus Clouds

Nimbus clouds are drawn across the screen from the direction of the wind and can be used to denote an incoming storm.

Border Clouds

Define the clouds that appear around the horizon.

Can be additive to add clouds around the horizon, or subtractive to keep the clouds above the players head.

Variables

Edit the variables for the cloud type in the Atmosphere Module

Name	Type	Description
