I recently made my foray into Houdini's cloud tools, and I have to say I was having a bit of fun.
I created this - https://vimeo.com/166779399 [vimeo.com]
However, I wasn't having much luck with creating those god rays in Houdini using the atmosphere object so I just made them in Nuke…
I was wondering if anyone has any tips on using the atmosphere object with the cloud tools? Does it work? My tests just seemed to create a really bad volume representation of the clouds that couldn't be used as a holdout…
Also, it seems some of my clouds were going black in color which I shall have to investigate further, as I was not doing that on purpose.
Cheers
