Fluffy Clouds Pack 05

_New: This pack is now also ready for use with the Fluffy Clouds Planes addon_You need for a scene realistic clouds or for a stunning cloudscape a lot of fluffy clouds? Than this is your right place.I've been spending my time to use volumetric simulations and vdb clouds but I've noticed quickly that either you get stuck with GPU memory errors or you will end up to waste such a long rendering time.

That's why I started to collect a pack of cloud transparent planes. Together with the specific node shader I use them in most cases of this type of scenes.

Content:

This pack includes 30 different realistic cloud planes in atmospheric moods (Blue hour Clouds, Epic Clouds, Golden hour Clouds) to give your 3D environment scenes the specific atmosphere. The planes are transparent and user-friendly editable in different options like brightness, saturation, color, shine and cloud noise. Just few clicks on the specific cloud node shader.All the changes you will make at the shader, were also able for animations.

Advantage:This technique is definitely an alternative to create clouds. It's a big time saver and there is no need to worry about your GPU memory, at least not because of the clouds. You can create fast and easy whole seas of clouds, and if you spend a little bit more time with the cloud node shader, you will get realistic results of clouds

Limitations:

Of Course they can't replace hyper realistic vdb clouds and yes, they are planes, so thin like slices of cheese. So you have to fake it as a good 3D Artist:-) From my experience, I can say, it's only a matter of the camera angle to hide their thin character. I always get the best results with the front view.

Their undynamic character in the matter of colouring with colour environment of your scene needs further work. Precisely here comes the cloud node shader into play. With the shader you are be able to fits the colours of the cloud with your scene, So again, you have to fake it as a good 3D artist.
