Hi im trying to progress with my character made of cloud,went through the gnomon tut video.
But have come up with a few problems.
the clouds arn1t completly covering the mesh face ,as in photo.
Alex alverez makes a turbulance field and animates the phase z with an expression,but because its video i cant make out what he had written,but the effect was a rolling effect of the particles over the sphere,a bit to fast for my face,perhaps slower.
I have chopped up my mesh,and have put seperate goels on each hand ,the body, and the face,because i think it would be better to control the look of cloud density on each item,also it might help to render smaller items rather than 1 big cloud mass.
Also the look of the cloud itself is a bit iffy to say the least,i wanted to use fluids as goals but found out that it wont....ooops!
can i put a fluid texture on top of the render type clouds?
The button is there to put a material on,but i dont want to get myself lost,perhaps i havnt tried all the sw cloud buttons yet,but there only a few.
radius: any bigger than ive got the face loses its shape!
Surface shadeing: seems to get mor blobby the higher it goes!
Threshold :is on quiet high at the momment.
any help would be appriciated.
