clouds for venus look weird(with pic)

Post #1by Redfish » 23.10.2002, 12:40

I downloaded a 2k venusclouds and the 8k venussurface, and was trying to see the clouds in celestia when they are enabled, and the surface when clouds are turned off.

I do get this functionality, but with clouds on it has this weird look. as if the clouds are at exactly the same height as the surface texture.

Try capitalizing the H in Cloudheight: CloudHeight . . . The fields in the .ssc file are case-sensitive (which is annoying and something I should really get around to fixing.)
