Very interesting......thank you How big are the sprites in that render? They appear to be rather large and shaded...

Rob had come up with a cool way to make clouds very realistically tumble in the sky the way real clouds do. My question is, is it possible to create an animation whereby realistic looking clouds take the shape of something recognizable (like the profile of an animal.. a horse? ) and then tumble back into a wispy shape.... I myself am unaware how the clouds would be able to take the necessary shape but maybe someone else does? Tom

impressive...

Thanks for the explanation!

impressive!

Cool ...thanks! It might be interesting to have a view from an airplane window looking down on a checkerboard of farms and then the clouds build and rollover the whole scene. Like a storm is coming... just a thought..😉

Follow up question ...can those changing clouds cast shadows on the ground? ..or are they just projected on a plane without the ability to interact with the rest of the scene?

Yes, ....Thanks Jason for your help and support!

Neat... looks like you are using your cool cloud effect!

Thanks for the offer Rob! The thing that really intrigued me about the video was the underlying mathematical precision that the spheres exhibited. First they snake, and then they spiral and then they swing....and then they repeat the cycle...!! I will try and bring it to LAT sometime..don't know if it will be next Saturday...but will keep it in mind in the future. Tom

Wow..you really are onto something there!!!

That looks great! Can it animate so that we have a time lapse effect?

Rob- What you are already getting is a terrific effect so I hesitate to ask...... but what about a 2 tone cloud (see attached) Is that possible to take this terrific effect even further?

Those clouds really work well!

Came across this extraordinary live action test. The mathematical perfection is astounding. Would be difficult to animate,,,but still amazing for the mathematicians out there.. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1b97-DsPHJ/?igsh=ZGMyZG82dXpwbHc2

Interesting...!

check out the graphic.

Nice Rob! I like the blurred numerals!

I see arrows

I rendered the project and the sprites were arrows. Open Gl rendered faster than Open Gl3....that's about it...

Thanks for posting the Saturday classes for people who are not able to attend. I downloaded the last two classes for my tutorials folder😄

Very nice!

excellent!

Agree with Rob...thanks for all your hard work Jason!! AM rocks because of you..!

I met a Californian who was living far down on the West Coast of Mexico with his wife. She got pregnant and insisted on having the baby back in the States when the local doctor started using a shot glass as a stethoscope (!)
