Clouds

You can create the effect of wind in your environment by setting up cloud motion parameters. Based on your settings, Bryce automatically moves the clouds in your environment to create motion.

Cloud motion parameters are set in the Sky Lab dialog. The Cloud Direction control lets you set the direction for cloud motion, while the other controls set the speed and distortion of the clouds.

To animate clouds:

1. Click the triangle icon in the Animation controls and make sure Auto-Key is enabled.
2. In Sky & Fog palette, click the Sky Lab button. The Sky Lab dialog appears.
3. Click the Cloud Cover tab.
4. Move the direction indicator in the Cloud Motion controls to set a direction for the clouds as they move in the animation.
5. Adjust the speed control to set how fast the clouds move. You can also enter a speed value.
6. Adjust the Turbulence control to set how much the clouds will distort as they move. You can also enter a turbulence value.
