Working on cloud and cloud related things.
Like this, which will be an animated cloud formation thingy (dyna-cumulus cotton candius):


At first, it was to be an animation showing the morphing of a cloud volume into a cloud shape, but it warped into something else.

This is derivative of my last two blender scenes.
Ruins on the Lake:


Mountain Sunrise:

I used an image for the sunset in the first, which is a not uncommon to do, but I didn’t like how dependent the final render was on it. I think using a photo for the sky or background is fine as long as it doesn’t overshadow other elements of the scene and become the most significant part, which I think may have happened in this case. So, I went searching around for information about making clouds in blender with EEVEE, which is how I found this tutorial on youtube. Using that information, I created the mountain sunrise scene. I think it came out pretty well, although some of the details don’t hold up to close scrutiny. :face_with_monocle:

I have ideas about making an animated timelapse version. However, it’s a stretch to call the scene real-time, even more so than previous scenes, making the process difficult. My RX480 is struggling in blender; I have been on the verge of buying a new graphics card for quite a while, hoping for price drops. It seems the best time to buy may have been September. I think the price, although more than I want to pay, may be worth it to speed up my blendering, at this point.
