Cloudy

[Simon Edmondson]

While awaiting feedback on the sneaky project I did a test for the next one.

This is for some cartoon clouds and was done with cycling maps.

Back to the other work.

That's in an interesting look.

 

I was confused by the dark shadows on the ground . A Kleig light set for fuzzy z-buffered shadows with a lesser darkness might be worth trying.

Thank you for your suggestions. I will try them later. I was trying to get slight transparency in the cloud and still allow it to look as if it might contain rain. Its for a sequence of stormy clouds. The light used was a bulb with ray traced shadows which might account for the darkness ?

Thank you.

I think all lights have a darkness setting to control the darkness of the shadow but z-buffered lights are generally faster and much faster for a soft shadow.

I like the concept ......good going!
