OVERCAST clouds are very dark seen from above

[flydav]

The color looks unnatural to me they are too dark flying above the overcast layer while they should be very white from above and dark (the way they are now) seen from below/ground. Can this be fixed? I bet is a shader work!

 

The other day I was flying there was a scattered layer of clouds above an overcast layer and they were white so everything looked pretty much unrealistic... to have white cumulous on top of a dark overcast layer... filling the horizon mmhhh...nope!Not right

The "broken stratiform" setting might be more to your liking.

 

The color of the clouds depends on the thickness of the cloud, the time of day, etc. We tried to strike a balance so thin cloud layers wouldn't appear too bright, but thicker layers would still look reasonable. I'm sure we'll continue to refine it as time goes on.
