Hey everyone,

I want to create a sky dome with a dynamically generated cloud texture. Creating a planar cloud structure and mapping it correctly on a sphere isn't the problem but the real issue is that my clouds are pointing vertically to the horizon. I miss the effect that clouds are getting smaller in the distance (in case of a sky dome this means nearer to the horizon). I tried to flatten the dome so it's no sphere anymore and it looked a bit better but this is still no satisfying solution.

So I think I have to change my texture in some way but I dont know how. Any ideas? My current cloud texture is generated with fractal brownian motion.

Thanks in advance!

My skydome is of course in a static position relative to the camera :wink:

The problem is that when I look up in the sky directly above me, the clouds appear very big. If my sight move more towards the horizon the clouds are getting smaller due to the perspective. Now, when I create my texture I just create it the way that I can do a normal UV-mapping on a sphere. The problem with that is, that I don't have any perspective. The clouds are always the same size, regardless to the position on the dome and it looks like my clouds are vertically crashing into the ground.

My question is now, how can I achieve a correct perspective?
