Pyro 4 - Dynamic Clouds Timelapse - 4.0 ETF

Clouds are so often overlooked in games, it’s no longer acceptable to have a 2D skybox. Think back to RDR2 when you went on that hot air balloon ride and how amazing it was to witness the volumetric cloud system on full display.

[@dirtynachobuffet]

What i don't think people fully appreciate with this is how long you had to sit in front of your PC while simultaneously not moving and making sure you didn't get disconnected for inactivity. Very cool video.

[@lunamaria1048]

It is remarkable how they made it so the clouds look as if they are simulating the natural process of forming from condensing from rising moisture, then disperse over time, like real life! I am often hard on CIG, but when they impress me, they impress me!😊 This is beautiful!

[@kazzsaru]

note, the cloud layer is *placeholder*. The real enchilada with sauce is the reveal they had in the recent CitCon of a full dynamic weather sim. If it blows peoples minds *now*...

[@aguspuig6615]

@@kazzsaru They blew my mind with moons, then when they added atmospheres and light scattering effects my mind was blown agin, then when they added static clouds with little droplets of water when you fly trough them? yup, mind blown agin. This video blows my mind yet aginnnnnn. And the GENESIS presentation? i think i might actually die if i see that in game my mind cant be blown that many times

[@tsrmmercy836]

It’s one thing to read it in the patch notes. Another to see it with your own eyes. Thank you for giving us backers who don’t get to play it often a chance to catch up in game instead of just reading about it ❤.

[@Avean]

Star Citizen is a technical marvel. I really can't believe what i am seeing sometimes. Like standing on a space station outside a planet, i can actually see a big city on the planet itself and ships taking off. Even on planetside you can see ships incoming. There is no "skybox" like in most games, they have created everything from the ground up.

[@AutoGibbon]

Just LOOK at the persistent cloud cover on those mountain ridges at the top of the planet! This is a real phenomenon called "orographic cloud". I am really impressed by that!

[@filiggoo5526]

The music and the visuals are so beautiful. Im in tears

[@Kurashinno]

Incredible

[@aguspuig6615]

Seeing a big cloud cast a shadow visible from orbit, that looks like it covers enough space to cover a medium sized country on a world map (even if the scales arent literally that big) is so awe inspiring. Like that whole area now looks like night time yet you can see sunlight in 3 of 4 directions if you loook far enough, for kilometerson end, thats so fkin cool

This game engine can literally do anything, Chris Robert pushes the boundaries of video games once again !

[@nickmosley6589]

I promise you Chris Roberts had nothing to do with these developments. The credit goes to the devs that did! The people working at CIG are creating systems that have never before been seen in the gaming industry, and while Chris Roberts is the brain child of Star Citizen, the devs themselves deserve just as much credit for bringing that vision to life!

[@Julien-hu4cc]

@@nickmosley6589 Of course, without the exceptional work of developer Chris Roberts there would have been no way he could have brought Star Citizen to life, but I'm talking about him who had a crazy ambition to push the boundaries of what was possible.

[@eliaster8826]

Wow, this one doing numbers

[@danisaksson3214]

It's stunning. I wonder if they'll ever strive to create vastly different windspeeds, knowing how insane some planets are in reality it'd be really cool to see stuff like that in a space sim like this one. I'm not holding my breath, but if it's one feature creep more that I'd forgive, it's that one.

[@phxbadash]

it would be interesting if they set up jetstreams on planets to help drive dynamic weather fronts as those contribute significantly to our own.

This is so well done and must’ve taken you ages. It captures the cloud formation and layers which I didn’t think was coming for a while! Amazing. Subbed for more. Can’t wait for some orbital mechanics to come in too. I saw the planets moving around the system there but I don’t think that is what they meant by the orbital work to come? Something about shards currently is stopping them from full implementation I believe?

[@N4me1ess]

Thanks so much man! Yeah it was the planet turning, I was in it's gravity well so that's why the rest of it turned too xD

[@RobertMcNamara3DMc]

Amazing.. I forget how unique this game is sometimes. Out of curiosity does anyone know why the reflection of the rings is a bit off around 02:35 .. the orange reflects but looks slightly offset to the left and the white rings don't reflect at all. The moon has no reflection either but I assume it is just not included in the reflection calc. I just wonder is it an issue with the renderer or an active choice to reduce the GPU load or something.

[@Martin-sx4bx]

[@mmmaxxx__]

So what I get from this is that it's not a simulation (not surprising) but a mask. Still great for the game, I don't think the effect translates to timelapses though, you can see the mask dragging along rather than being able to have a feeling of high and low pressure zones.

[@phxbadash]

yes this is not including any of the genesis tech that will cause weather front formation. it's likely just in to measure performance with dynamic clouds
