Also weird bug too.

Godplayer_xpx · July 15, 2021, 8:40pm

P.S You did adjust em. That’s because they are on one

TamimBacon · July 16, 2021, 9:09am

i was messing with the atmosphere on the last picture and i saw it

Godplayer_xpx · July 16, 2021, 9:34am

I know that for sure so it was pretty much a non-bug situation.

TamimBacon · July 16, 2021, 9:45am

What about the first picture? It isn’t supposed to kinda hide clouds. or whatever you call it

Abelfrejya · July 16, 2021, 9:07pm

Please stop reporting everything as bugs, when you clearly don’t understand how atmosphere works…

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/atmosphere

the atmosphere kinda hides the clouds except the sky

Atmosphere reflects the skybox if you haven’t increased the haze value…

its also not same as clouds color

???

It isn’t supposed to kinda hide clouds. or whatever you call it

It is supposed to hide the clouds.

Everything? I think you never checked what i am reporting, I was only reporting atmosphere thing with clouds and fade thing

I actually do? I checked the developer roblox articles on atmosphere when it was out.

Ok but it never does that in the real life though.

The color of the atmosphere and of the clouds are supposed to be different.
You can give them the same value if you want.

For the hiding, I’m assuming it’s because of the Density of your atmosphere (aka the amount of fog).

~~22 days later~~

I am working on a game that takes place in space and having clouds on top and bottom would make nebulas look really good

SaIamancas · July 17, 2021, 1:08pm

Are Dynamic Skies disabled my clouds have disappeared all of a sudden

Godplayer_xpx · July 17, 2021, 3:28pm

No, you find them in insert objects, put them in terrain!

11MR_BOB · July 19, 2021, 8:02am

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

Edit: I found out what was causing it:

tin_nim · July 19, 2021, 11:32am

You’ll need to increase the Density

Abelfrejya · July 19, 2021, 8:02pm

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 · July 19, 2021, 8:44pm

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.

Godplayer_xpx · July 20, 2021, 9:15am

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

Godplayer_xpx · July 20, 2021, 9:15am

Put them in terrain not lighting.

G2_funny · July 20, 2021, 9:40am

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

Ind0mitab1e · July 20, 2021, 10:02am

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.

ProfessorKJM:

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!

11MR_BOB · July 20, 2021, 10:03am

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.
