Nothing much to it but two shapely models. I scatter and stretch them, color them dark on the bottom and bright on the top - just barely off relative to the sky color - and make them darker further away. Smatterings are more neutral. Then the WPO warbles them and scrolls, higher clouds are faster.

Stephen Murphy has gotta be the best developer blog writer around IMO.

This "Dusk" project is getting pretty close to a main menu -> credits fully playable build; there's maybe just a couple more weekends of scripting left. Getting just this far has been exhausting but it's still too early to show off somehow.

I made what I thought was an arbitrary decision give up on lighting about a year ago and... lol. Here's two screenshots from the same day last August. The difference with consistency into the distance is night and day.

I don't really like posting WIPs, but I'm pretty satisfied with how this dusk scene is coming together. All the materials are unlit, and I'm controlling the time of day tint/brightness with post processing. Character is a placeholder from a previous project.

Well my current game project is too far along to make a giant map with it but I did mess around a little! Here's some bad screenshots. I think there's a lot to explore in how to use these, but I just tried topo lines and messing with the res to get a good interp between them on terraced hills.
