Technically speaking yes, the clouds are moving with the camera since they are still in Phase 1 we actually can’t go through the clouds.
And for the black line I’m assuming that a rendering issue. Not something I really know much about but I was experiencing that issue a few weeks ago when I was doing testing of my own.
I want to make sure, will clouds get a height option so we could put clouds lower than usually it is? I really want to recreate this one ability from a show I watched and the current height of clouds doesn’t allow me to do it sadly.
If you use a nice skybox and the atmosphere object they can look very nice.
If you don’t use the atmosphere object clouds look very weird and in my case have a visible outline:
It sure does look nice, but due to the outlines and them being just some noise images stacked over, I won’t be using them, but I think this early implementation looks somewhat nice.
The Clouds is already released as a beta feature. and Roblox staff silently stopped working on it. we don’t know when will there be a new update or new phase. or even a announcement for it.
A skybox with atmosphere will somewhat reduce the weird looking clouds. Waiting for more properties to be added to it, like width, height, shaping etc.
These Dynamic Skies Phases Update are important. Why is Roblox not working on this anymore after the beta feature of clouds phase 1? At least we have phase 1 of the beta feature, I miss Dynamic Skies.
On the very right it says it was updated sometime in april, which is the same with all the other features. They wouldn’t really just stop working on a feature. Especially one as big as this.
There are improvements that can be done like changing the cloud color, changing the cloud speed, and use your own cloud images for games with varying art styles.
I wanted to change the cloud color to colors other than white and black like blue and bright purple to better fit the theme for the realm and change the cloud speed to be faster, not slow because the realm takes place at outer space but with floating skies with natural habitats instead of plants.
I’m so excited and I can’t wait until this feature goes out of beta and it releases.
No. The clouds aren’t good enough to come out of beta because they’re really basic and they still have a handful of bugs and issues that need to be ironed out before release. Not to mention there’s 3 phases that Roblox is planning to work on and attempting to release them by the middle of 2021 wouldn’t be a smart idea since the staff on Roblox are spread thin working on all these new updates, and they have to be optimized and polished within the restrictions of the Roblox engine.
It’s been months since clouds were first released, and it still looks like noise textures with horrible alpha blending stacked atop each other. I mean, Sebastian Lague did it himself in about a week and it already looks better than the mess we have now!
