Calm before the storm (Bryce 7 beta)
Another volumetric cloud experiment. About two hours to render due to high quality settings and the additional lighting employed.

Scary scene. Amazing cloud formations. Makes me think of so many sci-fi movies with vortexes and the like.
Thank you indeed! The cloud will be available soon, hopefully, but in a slightly more optomised form. I increased the quality for this render and added a light, under the edge to skim in and highlight the "worly" bit. If all goes to plan, a selection of cloudscapes/landscapes, in packs of 10 will be brokered at DAZ to coincide with the launch of Bryce 7 pro as well as the five I highlighted previously which it should ship with. And the videos on skies and clouds at DAZ - altogether, I'm hoping that clouds will generally be embraced and the Brycers will be able to give a collective two fingers to the other products that have been lording it over us with their fancy clouds for so long. That's the dream! And it is fun. As for my website, ah... I was building one in wordpress and the webspace got shifted to another server - or something like that, and my site was one of the casulaties. I didn't have a backup. I will begin again as soon as I get chance. But of a headache. Less fun.
This is a far out sort of cloud but I've seen many unbelievable cloud forms on the real sky, so everything is possible. I like the beach and the surf. The sea is very calm, almost leaden, before the storm. Though the eye is pulled to the cloud, the beach is superbly done and merits a 5/5.
Once again a very realistic and impressive artwork. I love the light you've employed in the right of the picture, that hit the volumetric clouds so nicely!! Brillant... I'm waiting for your new website david, hope you'll launch it soon!!
Calm Before the Storm Very nice David!
