===Improved 3D Clouds=== | |||
Stuart Buchanan has been working on improving the 3D clouds. This has involved a change in the XML format, as well as various tweaks to the low level OpenGL shader code that generates the clouds themselves. | |||
Particular functional improvements include better distribution of clouds across the sky (no more obvious grids) and better modelling of stratus clouds. | |||
Hopefully by the time this is published, the work will be in CVS. | |||
