A natural situation

Yes contegufo, I know...

So, some things.
The second envelope for clouds by CTZn is great. The only thing is that runs slower.... and now I know why:
The value for max. coef. extinction is 0.05; I usually take 0.01. So this second envelope is faster than the first.
And the first time i use the multifractal function for the landscape.

Clouds volume is about 200x200x2 km. Godrays catched at last!

Testing the built-in multifractal function. Three basis type.

45h of render, is enough for me to see the beauty...
Instead of zoom-in and complain about the noise, zoom-out!
200x200x4 km of volume. Only a part of it. Of course exhaustive.
The beautiful interaction below the clouds (godrays).

very pretty!

hahahahahah....
I don´t need the machine for nothing more I believe.
Thanks Ono.

I´m "trying" to study beaux arts at this moments. I don´t consider myself like an artist. Time and we see... At the moment this is my only composition for art. Stranges disapointments between a net and a mesh. I re-exposed the same igi four times with different azimuth.
I expect to use the machine in a more creative way in the future.

Wooh that looks fluffy <3

Pretty much on point yonosoy, nice clouds !

You are one click away from using textures for elevation control, keep it going !

Nice yonosoy

I have a question, are the god rays created automaticly after the light passes through the clouds ? Or is there a layer of "fog" under the clouds to catch the density of the rays ?

And by the way could you please tell me what is your computer configuration for your renders to be such clear in that time ?

God rays are a consequence of scattering, so yes they will appear (at a time cost) if a partially occluded, incoming light is passing through a scattering media. In the here case, disabling godrays would also disable clouds in one go, as they are from the same phenomenon (scattered light).

[Onizuka]

Ok thanks for the explanation CTZn,

Then I never rendered clouds long enough to see the god rays

[CTZn]

Well, the volume must extend below the clouds range so scattering can happen, ie the cloud box bottom must be dragged down to (or better, below) the floor with some non-zero sss value within.

[Onizuka]

Ah ok I see why there is still no god rays in that test I did before to see your new post ! I'm gonna test the same scene with the cloud box going under the ground.
