Wait, we paid for the scam that's KSP 2 and the developer of these clouds want to exploit that even more? Hoyle shit I now have heard it all.

[@leonardobonanno5115]

KSP 2 has been in development since 2017, BlackRack was hired by them only a year ago so that KSP 2 could have better cloud effects. Also BlackRack was selling the Volumetric Clouds mod since before he was hired for KSP 2 so I don't understand what you are talking about, it's not his fault the KSP 2 game was abandoned or sucked.

This is as good or maybe even better that star citizen cloud tech. SC doesn't even have weather yet. This is stunning work from freaking one guy!

[@waxilliumladrian]

How do you get that crisp resolution in KSP? I set everything to the highest graphic settings in game and still see a lot of pixelated edges :/

[@leonardobonanno5115]

That's entirely due to the type of anti-aliasing that you apply through the in-game settings menu (none, 2x, 4x, 8x) or through the TUFX menu (none, fast-approximate morphological, sub-pixel morpohological, temporal). Try out these various settings and see which one works best with your screen for a crisp image result. It varies from screen to screen.

Yeah i agree its a very controversial situation, I'm not entirely opposed to it when the price is reasonably small though. But yes, as a concept it's annoying to have content locked behind a paywall.

[@paperswan]

How did you track your plane on every planet same way every time? I think there was some camera mod that allows for same movement, but enclanation and perspective wise it still won't help, so you tweaked perspective on post production?

[@leonardobonanno5115]

I did not make any adjustment in post production, I simply created a path for the camera to follow and then activated it on different planets. I then took the clips and matched their timing so they seemed to overlap in location.

Liked the overall presentation, but it felt a little bloated to me. Here are some things I would do to make it more consumable: 0. Provide link to mods in the description (forum post links, patreon links, ckan github) 1. Timestamps for the mods you talk about (I just want the names and features, I can figure out how to install/deps/conflicts etc, so this helps me get to relevant sections and skip the boring stuff) 2. Maybe condense the installation, dependencies, size, conflicts section into a single table and talk briefly about it. If there is some complexity to the installation, the forum post generally explains it, and CKAN prompts for selecting which config files to use, so provide links in the description and reduce on unnecessary bloat in the video. I think 1-1.25 minutes per mod can be saved here, which would cut down the video to 9-10 minutes. I really liked the overall presentations and accompanying visuals, but i just felt this was way longer than it needed to be, hence my pointers.

[@illesizs]

If the game was still supported by any official way, I wouldn't mind paying for a mod like Volumetric Clouds, but as things are standing now, I can't trust the publishers to spend any money on it. With a funky Windows update, the whole game could break forever, with no hope for recovery.

[@armadilloneister]
