Quick Information
Sunshine Clouds 2
A total rebuild of my previous clouds system, designed to address a lot of the issues I had with that original version.Note, when launching the plugin for the first time on versions other than 4.6 a couple restarts may be required, this is due to the clouds plugin updating itself to handle the specific data structures of that version.Due to this version 4.4 and earlier are no longer supported.

Updates:
2.1: Mostly bug fixes following asset release on the asset library
2.0: Rebuilt from the ground up to use the compositor system, improving performance and visuals.
Features
- Fully volumetric clouds, extendable as far from the camera as you want with the correct settings
- Easy Setup (besides getting the addon installed it comes down to like 3 clicks)
- Performant (I use resolution options with upscaling and depth handling, allow for soft clouds at low resolution you can still fly through)
- Soft visuals, or cartoony, styling options allows for a wide range of options
- Entirely procedural, or paint in clouds using the editor tools, able to paint in density as well as color to tint clouds differently depending on region
Installation
- Download either here or in the asset library by searching for "Sunshine Clouds 2"
- Activate Plugin (Project->Project Settings->Plugins->SunshineClouds2)
- Add a SunshineCloudsDriverGD node to your scene
- Ensure your scene has a World Environment present in it
- Press "Generate Clouds Resource" button in the driver
- Add a directional light to the "Tracked Directional Lights" array on the driver
- Have fun!
Eye candy

This version is definitely more polished than the previous one, it's worth it if you want to save time on a realistic cloud system!
