min/max cloud size setting


FloB

Recommended Posts

Not sure what these settings do and wasn't able to find out by testing or reading the manual :) (the clouds are created completely new after each change and the difference isn't that obvious - at least for me).

Does a higher setting of the min cloud size 

 

a) increase the size of the smallest clouds drawn

B) decrease it

c) draw a higher number of small clouds?

 

Same with max cloud size setting...

 

Can someone clarify this, please? Thanks

I figure the best way to show you the differences is to give you a series of images......Basically the settings do exactly what they say, they change the sizes of the procedurally drawn cloud puffs.....

 

1. Setting for both Min/Max set all the way to the right (high)

2.  Here is one with the setting set in the middle for both the min/max (medium)

3. And finally set all the way to the left (low)

Whats beautiful about these clouds is there is not much difference in the overall appearance, but look at the FPS counter in each image.  The same applies to the cloud detail slider.....

Seems I'm to stupid to understand...does that actually mean the cloud size (one cloud made of many puffs, right?) stays the same and only the puff size is different?

If I would have to guess the settings just by looking at those pictures - honestly I couldn't tell... :)
