Hello I just wanted to share a couple ideas I have on how to improve the cloud system.

1- The ability to change the size of the clouds, for example have just 2 or 3 clouds in the sky but having them be big ones.

2- Presets for different types of weather like storms, overcast, clear skies, etc.

3- Different layers of clouds that can be animated at different speeds and directions as in the real world the wind can change direction and velocity depending on the altitude.

4- Different types of clouds like stratus, cumulus, nimbus, etc.

Overall the new clouds are amazing and I think for a first try this is a fantastic result but maybe with a couple more options it can be so much more.

Thank you for always improving this amazing renderer and I hope to see some of these feats in the future.

Attached is my first test using the clouds, super easy to set up and very fast to render.

+ 1

I got a change request from a client for exactly that today :)

And another one: It would be nice if the sky could be rotated like an HDRI, for a better control of the horizon line
