Title: Clouds - Opinions
Post by: ImADot on February 14, 2011, 08:21:19 PM

Ok, so I'm thinking most people are like me and like to have clouds in the terrain.  What's your opinion on the best way to add them?  Lots of overlapping small/medium (relative to map size) cloud fronts with varying birth/death rates, or a couple of large overlapping cloud fronts?

Less is more, due to frame rate hits. Don't get carried away unless there's a very good reason, such as covering TT.

You can do some quite nice effects with semi-transparent layers. Toss in a few scattered large think clouds and call it good, that's my opinion.
