Working on cloud and cloud related things. Like this, which will be an animated cloud formation thingy (dyna-cumulus cotton candius): ![PurpleHouse_WIPSHOT](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/3/4/5/3451eb85c1c333268e21dd47877b3d23c7c97052.jpeg) 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:](https://blenderartists.org/t/ruins-on-the-lake/1444843) ![Rend1e](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/7/d/e/7de3b33671ea8182049ba720077b64a95eaf1bd2.jpeg) [Mountain Sunrise:](https://blenderartists.org/t/mountain-sunrise/1445479) ![MountainCloudscape](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/c/2/1/c21345906090fecadeb9423d1266875563e43efa.jpeg) 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](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPAYX8z9i8M). 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. 🧐 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://blenderartists.org/t/broccolium-sketchbook/1415108)._
