Godot 4.2.2 - Volumetric Clouds With Atmospheric Scattering

[@ajkruko4620]

This channel needs more attention. Checked all your work. Subscribed, cause you're just awesome!

[@firstlast6796]

really beautiful, enjoying seeing these updates!

[@thomasmaier7053]

Love that repo, can't wait for the update!!!

[@ppgrillo9531]

Just discovered this looking for volumetric clouds and OMG, WHY DID I NEVER SEEM THIS PROJECT?! Looks like's what I was looking for! You still working on it? To have it in 4.3? Maybe the new Compositor Effects can be taken as an advantage to add better improvements or cheaper implementations or other effects :D

[@GabrielAplok]

Awesome work!

[@davids7646]

You are so good dude. Keep it up.

[@eduardosanchezbarrios5810]

Awesome!!!

[@SolitaryElite]

looks very nice)) tutorial sometime?

[@PHDtt]

wow, well done 👏

[@debrajmaji9608]

It would be great if you could please do a tutorial regarding this. Thanks!!

[@Polygarden]

Perhaps I can do something when my little demo is done. Like a little documentation or a paper where all the technical details are explained.

[@nialltl5527]

@@Polygarden would really love this! do you have plans for how much more you're going to add to this project before you consider it done?

[@debrajmaji9608]

@@Polygarden yes of course.

Beautiful! Would this translate as cloud shadows on the terrain as well? Keep up the incredible work 🎉

[@Polygarden]

Thank you! I'm actually trying to make this work. For now it's just the fog receiving the shadows, but I also want to have a standard shader material being able to receive it. I don't know yet how long it will take me to do this, because I have to figure out how the schlick ggx BRDF works to be able to integrate it into the shadow pass properly. But in general this is the plan and that's why I have separated it into a shadow-map.

@@Polygarden Beautiful, thanks for the response, you've done such great work already I'm sure you'll figure it out 👌 do you think there's a community somewhere of people trying to solve similar challenges in godot?

[@Polygarden]

@@ernestosantangeloregaladoa800 There are many knowledgeable people in the discord. They always helped me out very quickly. But I tend to dig through the Godot code myself first.

[@luke029]

Hey there. Did you ever get to post your project on the terrain generation? That would be awesome. Thanks.

Hello, can you suggest ho to get rid of that flickering hile moving the camera

[@danielgrizzlus3950]

Amazing!! Can these clouds work around a sphere, like as if wrapped around a planet?

[@Polygarden]

Thank you very much! Unfortunately this is not easily possible at the moment. Everything is currently made in a way that you have a horizon along the xz-axis. Perhaps it can be done, but it would require alot of rewriting.

[@danielgrizzlus3950]

@@Polygarden I might eventually try to modify it to be able to be put around a sphere, I'll have to implement clouds of some sort eventually. Or I might try to make my own from scratch, but there's no way they will look as good as yours

[@sanketsbrush]

have you tried compute shaders ?

[@fadofficialmusic]

Why you say its very un-optimised??

[@Polygarden]

it is still work in progress

[@charlieking7600]

I suppose many functions used in shader could have arrays of precomputed values that will be interpolated.
