They look fantastic !
Thanks for taking the time to improve them. Could you make them available
for check-in?
BTW I have been working on some minor code improvements for the 3D clouds:
- placing the sprites on a sphere rather than a cylinder (a code bug)
- Only checking for repositioning of the cloud layer every 60 frames.
- Improving the culling heuristic to remove sprites that are too close together.
- Performing better shading of the bottom of the cloud.
None of these things should affect the work you have been doing.
I hope to get these checked in soon - but the weather today is nice so I'm
going out to fly my microlight first. I'll make sure to take some photos of
clouds!
