Cloud Sketch 1

Published:
3.3K Views

Description

A simple cloud-sketch done with Vue and Photoshop. Still trying to achieve Maya-quality with Vue, but "Metaclouds" are made of metaballs, so I rendered two images, same Metaclouds, but different cloud materials for each. Then composited them in PS and painted-out all the remaining visible metaballs, which is the main drawback to using Metaclouds that I can see.

To sum it up, Metaclouds seem decent for still images, but would still be far behind Maya's clouds for animation, and of course there would be no physics in Vue. But all in all, a fun sketch, and I intend to do a few more and see if I can approach "realism" with Vue and PS alone.

This is just a sketch; feel free to use as a desktop if you like it (click "Download"), otherwise any critiques would be much appreciated!

You mean you rendered the same cloud twice with differnet materials, then imposed each render over each other in Photoshop? that's actually very inventive thinking :idea:
