Dynamic Skies Are Getting Cloudy

[11MR_BOB (1BOB)]

For me they’re showing but they’re pretty transparent.

Edit: I found out what was causing it:

@11MR_BOB

I just found what was causing it. The fog start property of the lighting object affects the clouds for some reason. Setting it to a high value (anything above 100000) causes the clouds to go very transparent.

You’ll need to increase the Density

There seems to be somekind of artifacting with the clouds when changing outdoor ambient quickly and moving the camera, this didn’t happen before until now?

[omgcchheeessee (West)]

i might be wrong but when i look up the clouds look REALLY weird.

they look like the northern lights if they were clouds in a sense.

How do you add wind, because Roblox said you can add wind.

[Godplayer_xpx (arandomguy)]

Put them in terrain not lighting.

Could you please send me the file for the place? I can help tell you what the problem is.

U can’t add wind yet. It’s coming soon. Man, in this thread I’ve seen so many people who haven’t read the update to skies. It’s there: scroll up.

Clouds objects can be placed anywhere in Studio for replication, etc., but are displayed only when they exist under the Workspace/Terrain object. This makes is clear and easy to manage Clouds properties before they get rendered. In future, when we add the feature to fly into and above clouds, it makes sense to keep them neatly in the world with the Terrain object (as opposed under Lighting, which as we know is more for backdrop and environment uses).

In addition to the updating the realistic shapes of clouds with Cover and Density controls, we also added the following properties to the Clouds object:

• Enabled [on/off] when Clouds are under the Terrain object, this simply shows or hides the Clouds.
• Color [RGB] this controls the Clouds particles material color (tint it orange for a smoky scene or turn it a strange color for an alien world gas, etc.)

Release Forecast

Next up, we will be doing some quick updates to the Sky and Atmosphere objects.

Then, there will be a major Phase 2 Beta and additional releases which will enable: Cloud Types, Wind Properties, and updates to Sun / Moon Celestial Objects. Not forgetting an addition of under water Atmosphere and more advanced lighting to get even better sunsets, add more shadowy volume to clouds, and have the materials lit accurately in the world when clouds are present!

Thanks for the offer but I just found what was causing it. The fog start property of the lighting object affects the clouds for some reason. Setting it to a high value (anything above 100000) causes the clouds to go very transparent.

The skybox maybe? Depends on what baseplate are you.

[killer_redstone1pro (DecombobulatedChico)]

Just wanted to say that this is absolutely amazing, i’ve wanted better looking skies for a while now, and this is just what I needed, still a bit dissapointed that I can’t edit the cloud height but i’m hoping that’ll be a thing in future phases

Especially like how they block out sunrays

Is anyone else unable to insert clouds into studio… at all? I uninstalled and reinstalled and I still haven’t got it.

[Godplayer_xpx (arandomguy)]

You get them from insert object to terrain.

[Glitterkittyparty108]

Yeah, it doesn’t show up there regardless if I search for it or scroll through the list of things.

[Godplayer_xpx (arandomguy)]

Search it @Glitterkittyparty108 you’ll find it.

[Glitterkittyparty108]

I did and I can’t find it, which is why I posted!

[BandaidKidd (choppppppppppppppppp)]

@Glitterkittyparty108 Look at this post someone posted, replying to the same message you put. Hope that helps!

Click on the little down arrow on the search tool, then turn off recommended.

After enabling clouds, my game started getting lots of dislikes. I couldn’t tell what was wrong at first till I tested it on mobile: the game wasn’t even loading. After countless hours of enabling and disabling features, I noticed disabling clouds fixed the problem.

It seems like some mobile devices don’t even support clouds yet, so instead of just not rendering them, they freeze on the loading screen. Please fix this so I can use clouds in my game again (they looked great) or disable them till they work as expected. Thanks!

[BandaidKidd (choppppppppppppppppp)]

I know right! I got so many dislikes, I was so mad that I just disabled my game on mobile devices. Before I did that, I noticed when I tried playing my game on iPad Mini 4, with clouds in-game, it crashed me. I guess that’s what those players were complaining about… I was on my samsung phone and it didn’t crash. Just there was no clouds, but just a flickering white sky.
