CloudPeep

Recently, I was involved in creating a product focused on Cumulus clouds code-named, “CloudPak.” Because of some unforeseen problems, it appears that product won’t end up making it to market. But, a lot of work was completed and I thought I’d share some of the information I’ve learned while working on the project. So, while the PDF here isn’t a full blown “CloudPak” project, it can be considered a work-in-progress and hopefully will lend insight into how one might go about creating their own cloudscape atmospheres. I hope you find this useful.

    Brilliant work as usual Chipp. The cloud settings have always been a major mystery to me and I’m sure others as well. Thanks for doing this.

  2. Bruno Memain says:

    Excellent stuff, Chipp. May I ask how you were able to create the starting point cloud from a sphere if not using a metacloud?

  3. Lili says:

    It’s always a pleasure to read your excellent tutorials, and this one was missing for Vue…Thank you for sharing :-)

    THANK YOU!!!! Clouds have long been a HUGE mystery for me… and as Dave said, many others as well. Anything to help my knowledge along is greatly appreciated, and I cannot tell you just how much…. but thank you, from the bottom of my heart =D

    Thank You!!!!

    I’ve never felt like I knew what I was doing, messing with Meta-clouds. Once I’ve loaded Vue 8 I will definatley be working with this!

    Excellent craftsmanship, Chipp! This is very good. Like some others, I am lost in model-making and havent time to do justice to Vue itself. Your generous sharing gives me a great “leg-up” on an important area of Vue. Thank you very much for doing this/

    Thanks a bunch! It is great to have information about what slider does what. And what are the important sliders. Puts more jou in trying to get what I try!

    How did you create the sphere cloud in the first place? I would like to sculpt my own clouds too!

  12. altuit says:

    You should be able to see how it was made in the Function Editor.

  13. Kieran says:

    Yeah this a great introduction to clouds in Vue. However I agree with the above – could you explain to us how you got the initial cloud sphere which we’re then able to sculpt using your tutorial?

  14. altuit says:

    Please look in the Function Editor for the cloud material. There you will find the way to create a cloud sphere.

  15. Kieran says:

    ok cheers i’ve found it. Sorry bit of a Vue newbie, what would be the best way of duplicating it to make several clouds?

  16. Roy says:

    Thank you… that is very nice of you to share this with everyone else…
    Vue is a great program but it isn’t that widespread and we need more books and “formal” material on how to work with it….. I wish there were more people like you who would share and let everyone know what you can achieve with it…
