Flying Clouds Cheydinhal - Project Ambience
ABOUT PROJECT AMBIENCE:
These city-specific mods are just proofs of concept for testing and ideas (and should be treated as such) I will hopefully add to the actual P.A. (tweaked and improved). The
actual mod will contain (for its urban part) many fx per city as
appriopriate (no snow in Cheydinal for instance, no dust clouds in
Bruma, etc).
They are very rough and de facto incomplete. But I thought I'd release them anyway.
**Official Thread: here
DESCRIPTION:**
This is the first mod test for Project Ambience that doesn't relate to "falling".
I was working on a decent fire smoke (for braziers, to be added to specific spots in cities, also existing ones), but I got tons of crashes off the CS, so I decided to play with the fx itself and found this.
Adds low flying "real" clouds to the city of Cheydinhal.
Six in number, with some randomness to them so they never look 100% the same in every incarnation.
Plus, 3 different textures are used so there's a little base variance.
Sizes and altitudes are differents, so are speeds.
All are very slow moving as intended (there's both a technical and logical reason).
Check the pictures.. also added 3 small videos in 1080p.
ISSUES:
-if looked at directly from below, they rotate with the camera (like Real Clouds for Skyrim, it's an fx limitation)
-in 2 All Natural weather types (very dark sky) they look bad due to being very light-coloured vs the dark sky, check the pics
-since they are obscenely bright at night (due to my ENB I think), I had to include a script disabling them after 8 pm for now (they are re-enabled in the morning)
-when far enough (with vanilla max settings) they are not fully rendered as they are actual fx and not sky
COMPATIBILITY:
Should be compatible with everything
REQUIREMENTS:
None at the moment.
**INSTALL:**Use NMM or copy/paste
BASH:
I don't know yet.
After falling leaves.esp, or anyway near the latter part of your load order (not that it matters I think)
