Animating realistic sky in Carrarsa 5 Pro? - Polyloop

medeamajic · 19th January 2006, 11:31

In Carrara 4 Pro I could not get the realistic sky to animate. I have the same problem in version 5. The parameters are there but I can never get it to work.

Hi, it seems there is a problem with the animation of the clouds. I entered a bug for this, we will get this fixed in the next update.

Thanks for the info I spent a lot of time trying to get this to work with version 4.0. It was one of the first test I did with version 5. I think it is great that there are five layers of clouds with animation options but I just could not get it to animate no matter what I did. It will be great to have dark grey lower clouds animating to the east and higher white clouds animating to the south like in real life. I will make my own jet streams.

After looking around a little bit more I realized that it is working. The problem is simply the clouds move fairly slowly when they are very high in the sky. So what you want to do is that change the cloud animation time in the realistic sky properties (not the dialog but the properties) to a high value after a few seconds and you will see the clouds move in the sky. Let me know if you have any more problems

It animates but not the way it should. I played with the settings for the completion and speed as well as changing the seconds. The clouds wiggle but I can not get good motion in one direction.
