Oh boy - here we go again - I'm tempted to just say search through Avsim Ryan but you've been around long enough to know that. 😀

I like them and prefer them to what's currently available.

You will now get many opinions in agreement and disagreement. Then we have to bring in the extra's like Envtex and PTA and TomatoShade.

So, since I'm first - ASP4, ASCA & Envtex are my personal favorites. Great looking, very realistic and performance friendly PLUS they were designed to work with ASP4 dynamically.

But it's your eyes that will be looking at them.

Hi,

do you also use the cloud textures from envtex intergration?

or cirrus clouds unchecked in envtex

and all checked in ASCA?

thanks

I happen to like the Envtex integration so I use it.

Thanks for the reply.

do you mind sharing your cumulus envtex settings for intergration?

Wether  it be 1,2 or 3 set?

 

cheers

mike

I use SET 1.

Thank you will give it a try.

i suspect you would have to uncheck cloud textures in ASCA for it to work? 

 

thanks

No. Envtex integrates WITH ASCA not instead. If you disable cloud textures in ASCA the sim will use whatever you currently have loaded.

Interesting! So I just watched a YouTube bedroom of captain  Vince.

and he had unchecked cloud textures in asca.

and cloud structures enabled in asca 

This is a quote from Emvtex:

 

Hifi created an API allowing anyone to add their own sky textures to ASCA, once the textures are added to ASCA, it can inject our textures itself. Unfortunately no API was created for clouds but after a bit of research, we understood that the full dynamic mode installs 14 different sky textures with many cloud models, each model calls a different texture once in the sim, which is creating the high amount of variety of cloud textures when using this mode. What we did to exploit this feature using our own texture is to create our own 14 cloud textures for each of our presets to replace the 14 textures used by ASCA in the sim. However if you keep "cloud textures" enabled in your ASCA settings, they will overwrite our 14 textures. Enabling only the cloud structures (which will allow the 14 textures to be called) is however required to work with Envtex. In a nutshell it is completely correct to disabled cloud textures and enable sky textures in ASCA if you want to use both Sky and Cloud textures from Envtex.

You are correct - I was thinking of something else - my bad.

Tried both, and in my opinion ASCA cloud textures look way nicer.

cheers

LOL. Your eyes, your choice. I mix and match a lot but I also prefer ASCA textures.
