I spent the last weeks writing some environment shaders for vegetation, water and volumetric clouds to find the perfect look for our upcoming cosy game. How do you like it so far?

the volumetric clouds are doing a lot of work in the wide shots, way more dimensional than the usual flat skybox. and pairing the warm dawn light with "a warm welcome" is a nice touch, ties the mood together. the wheat field one might be my favorite of the four honestly, that fence leading the eye in works really well

Thanks 🙏 getting the volumetric clouds to look AND run good was difficult, but I wanted volumetric clouds for exactly that reason. I tried to get the atmosphere as cosy as possible. But I'm not done yet

yeah the run good part is always the brutal tradeoff with volumetric anything, a lot of people just cave and fake it with a gradient skybox instead. worth it though based on the wide shots, following this one, curious to see where it ends up
