Cloud Cover

Cloud Cover controls the quantity of clouds you can see in the sky. A high coverage means that there is a very dense cloud layer and a low setting means that there are very few clouds in the sky.

Cloud Cover also indirectly controls the brightness of the environment. The more cloud coverage you have in a sky, the darker the environment since less sunlight can pass through the clouds. Adjusting cloud coverage changes the quantity of clouds but not the frequency. You can think of it as adjusting the volume on a radio without changing the station.

The Cloud Coverage control in the Sky & Fog palette lets you interactively set the quantity of clouds in the sky.

To set cloud coverage:

1. If it's not already visible, display the Sky & Fog palette by clicking the Sky & Fog button at the top of the Bryce window.
   
   
2. Drag left or right inside the Cloud Coverage control thumbnail. Drag left to decrease coverage and right to increase it.
   
   
   
   The cloud coverage value is displayed in the Text area of the Control palette as you drag.
   
   

You can also set the Cloud Coverage on the Cloud Cover tab in the Sky Lab.

Examples:

• Cloud Cover = 10%
  
  
• Cloud Cover = 90%
