Clouds

Post #1by Robertbobby91 » 05.05.2007, 23:21

I searched and couldn't find anything on it so here it is:

Can you have animated clouds some how? Like using a Gif image or something?

What we have is a pseudoanimation of the Jupiter clouds:
Download the texture "jupiterclouds.png" in Celestia Motherlode or somewhere else and put this lines after Sunset:
CloudHeight 20
CloudSpeed 800
CloudMap "jupiterclouds.*"
}

Or simply use this atmosphere definition:

Atmosphere {
Height 300
Lower [ 0.7 0.6 0.5 ]
Upper [ 0.5 0.45 0.4 ]
Sky [ 0.8 0.8 0.5 ]
Sunset [ 1.0 0.6 0.2 ]
CloudHeight 20
CloudSpeed 800
CloudMap "jupiterclouds.*"
}

I hope this helps...
