Textures LVL10 cloud detail for Orbiter 2016 ***OUTDATED***

[galleto]

***** This is outdated and doesn't make much sense with the d3d9 client improvements. I'm working on a new version


I modified NASA's BMNG clouds in photoshop to make them look more fluffy and "cloudy" and less like big square chunks at LEO and athmospheric flight.
The file is 1,4 Gigs and orbithangar breaks whenever I try to upload, so If anybody wants it I will externally upload them or something.

EDIT: I uplodaded it to drive.

just drop it in your textures/earth/archive folder

Does shadowing work ?

Does shadowing work ?

you mean if the clouds cast shadows?

 

[Donamy]

Yes

 

[galleto]

Yes

Yeah it works good

Is it a *.tree file ? The Orbiter's cloud.tree file size is 301.349

You might want to contact Xyon for OHM support. I'm sure he can help you get this uploaded.

Yes, this one has +1 level of resolution.

Allright :thumbup:

Better clouds is a must have...

 

[Abloheet]

Have they been uploaded?

Nice, thanks for that.
Indeed, with HD earth textures , it wasn’t that good.
What is the default clouds definition ? L9?

I do not want to complain, just after some usage I made a couple observations - clouds are a bit un-uniform, tiles sometimes not adjusted, I mean clouds on adjacent tiles are of different brightness. Seams are more obvious... (humans always are not satisfied with something).

Yes, I also noticed that. The problem is (I think) the tiles that form the cloud textures have to merge at some point and if they were not divided perfectly some pixels are going to be mismatched.
In space engine for example this doesn't happen because there is a 2 pixels wide frame reserved for a smoother texture merging.

L9 yes :thumbup:

 

[Snax]

Is the file still available ? The link says the file doesn't exist.

 

[lunarcon]

It appears that the file is no longer available.

Has this been re-uploaded anywhere? Seems like a heck of a thing to let drop off the face of the earth... pun intended.
