jara Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hello, I am new to Houdini, and have just finished the cmiVFX tutorial on Fractal Clouds. I would like to create a cloud layer which surrounds a small planet. Would anyone suggest ways of doing this? Basically I would like a hollow volume sphere, and the capability of using a volume vop with this sphere. Should I be doing this at the object level or within the volume vop? (Probably either are possible?) It would be great if I could move the clouds around the sphere as well, so the hollow wasn't just a cut out of the rectangular space, but so the clouds can actually wrap around the sphere. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fayal Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 i think the first part of this tutorial can help you . you can make an animated cloud surrounds a planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jara Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks for the reply. I can make a spherical volume with a turbulent noise but I would like it to be a layer of clouds rather than a dense sphere of clouds. Is there a way I can provide a limit (some type of ramp maybe) to disallow volume from forming within a certain level of the sphere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
