In this tutorial Ill show you how with these you can easily make clouds shaped like words or objects in Vue. This technique is considerably easier than the two methods in my old cloud sculpting tutorials for Vue 6 and above. Ive included a couple of ready-made atmospheres (at the end) and cloud textures so you can dive right in but first Ill show you how to build one from scratch.

Start with Vues Default Spectral Atmosphere. Now open the Atmosphere Editor. Add a Spectral Cloud Layer the Spectral 2 layers Thick Cumulus Layer and Dense Cumulus Layer are good choices. Now open the Cloud Material by double clicking on it. In the new panel at the bottom of the editor click Drive with Function next to Density Modulation. Replace the Constant node connected to Density Modulation with a Texture Map node. Set the Texture Map node to be a Projected Texture Map. Load your Picture into the Projected Texture Maps Image. If youre camera is facing north in the scene youll probably want to rotate the image twice. You may need to invert it as well if youve not done that during preparation. Set Interpolation to Bicubic. Set Tiling Mode X and Tiling Mode Y to Once. Set Scaling to make the cloud big enough to see. I find X 100 and Y 100 is usually enough to get started but you may need another size. Click Ok on the various dialogues until youre back to the main Vue screen. Now point the Camera at the sky at around where x and y are 0. Render the picture and you should see your picture appear in the clouds. Youll probably find you want to make the cloud layer thinner or higher and change the scale on the image to get the best looking cloud.

can use different shades of grey to get different effects. A simple one is to apply strong Gaussian blur to the picture to give softer, less defined edges to the cloud.
