Northern Summer Clouds!!
Posted: 14.08.2003, 06:27
Well the Northern Summer Clouds are nearly finished. I wanted to post screen shots last night but Comcast in all their wisdom has done it again and pulled another 24 hour rolling black-out on my internet connection. It just came back on 20 minutes ago. And yes I am getting rather ticked with them. But there is nothing I can do at this point.
So here are some shots of the new Northern Summer Cloudmap.
Hurricanes lined up for no good.
A super Typhoon approaching the Philippines.
Another shot of the Typhoon.
The famous San Francisco fog over the Golden Gate.
A nasty Hurricane over Cuba.
This texture is based on the BlueMarble 8k Cloudmap. Resized to 4k and then various pictures of real Hurricanes and Typhoons were blended in. Add a little bumpmaping and some of my other depth tricks and we see the results.
I should have it ready shortly. All comments welcome as always

Addendum.
I have been playing with the haze coloring for Earth. Here are 2 shots of the 16k texture with new clouds and the modified haze settings.
It has often been mentioned that my Earth texture’s water often looked a little to dark. Well this proves that a simple adjustment in the haze settings can change the whole look of that dark water.
