3 years ago sort of, like this, where there's fire or, flames on inside, of the clouds >>>
if one could animate the noise texture, maybe set it in low resolution, one could create these effects, maybe 128x128 or, 256x256 is enough, hope for it . . also, lightning inside clouds is, very cool, maybe some of these, are possible . . .
or, one could create a certain angle, where it looks 'good', then render that or, so, to get more detail, then move camera, to other place <3 Thx . . .
basically, dark storm-clouds, full of fire, on the horizon, billowing forward, or so . . <3
here . . .
it just requires, like say particle systems, that have many different options, to have settings, to optimize the quality and, so on <3
the sky shader looks amazing, atm <3 one could many more sky effects, or so, and get almost any horizon or, well ' effect ', or so . . .
last, for someone as crazy good, as Juan, or a complete engine master, making something, to create a PB-tornado, that works with the sky shader, might be a fun challenge . .
I know that's super - technical, but Godot devs just do amazing things, all the time . .
even, all way up to >>
super - tornados, . . .
that way, one could generate a ton of weather effects, procedurally . . prob. 50 % of this isn't possible, but it'd be cool, ya ya . . . <3 maybe a dev is like, I could do that, in 2 - 3 days, if they have correct background, not sure . . :OO

Describe the project you are working on
A Tomb raider game . . With characters and, levels . . .
Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project
The new sky shader, that is in Godot 4, is simply amazing . . There's another thing, I hope it will support stuff like dark rain-clouds, white clouds and, perhaps a layering effect, so one can have say, a sky where there's ' fire ' or, an ' internal ' color, or so . .
That would allow me to make an effect, I need to make about God being angry / skies raining fire or, so, for a part of game, where there's ' biblical ' disasters . .
Part of the story is, how ' heaven ' responds, when a nation commits big crimes, like bad wars or, large cruelty <3 This would really help me, get the ' final ' look, I need . . so, it looks like dark or, murky clouds with fire or, smoldering flames inside . . <3 <3 . . .
so, it looks like there are different ' colors ' INSIDE the clouds . . <3 or, layers or, gradients . . .
Also, I want to make a game, where the character flies ABOVE the clouds, so I was hoping the sky shader could also be put ' under ' the screen <3
In procedural sky, one can change ' color ' of upper and, lower, like sky and, ground . . if sky shader could also be applied ' beneath ' the screen, it could work well, for air - plane games, or so . . And, eventually, maybe one could fly ' inside ' the clouds, as well, but that's probably super - advanced, to do in ' good ' resolution, so that's prob. not possible, or so . .
That's prob. like Godot 4.4, or 5 :(( . . But, it'd look cool, hope it can be done, since air combat games are cool, also flight simulator games <3
Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation
Well, what I wanted most, is to be able to put the sky shader below the horizon, for a flying above the clouds part, of the game, I hope this is fairly simple, but don't know . . And, I need to be able to make clouds, with fire or, flames inside, so it looks like a sky, full of hatred and, rage :OO :OO . . it's since part of my story is, adding some ' biblical ' disaster stuff or, so . .>>
Last, not sure it's even possible, but if one could animate the clouds, so it looks like a storm or, big hurricane, ie. clouds fold or, ' billow ' . . These are ideas, and may be TOO performance heavy, or they could be done in scenes, where one only looks at the clouds, or so . . Need it, for a cut - scene, about consequences, of defying the UN and, starting 'evil', sick wars . . :OO that's the core theme, for the game, the ' plot ' or, story . . :OO it's about a game, after living in Denmark, following the Iraq war or, so . . I want to talk about, why illegal wars and, invasions are just bad, in fiction or, ' media ' <3 that's all . . . . anyway, it's just a cool idea, for a game, or so . . <3 <3 . . . .
Also, will the clouds perhaps support things like internal lighting, as a toggle, so one can simulate lighting or, so inside the clouds <3
Hope some of it can be added, and run some-what well, the current sky shader looks amazing, so cool . . <3 but, I'd like to be able to put it on the ' ground ' and, not ' sky ', so one can fly above them . . :OO
Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams
Like, if the sky shader could be expanded, to be able to have a ' gradient ' or, layers, so one can create all kinds of effects, it could also be used to create all sorts of 'novel' and, also cool effects, in other games, to get a 100 % custom look, not sure . . . <3
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?
I use visual script and, I can't reprogram the engine, esp. C# :(( <3
Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?
Well, if it was added as a customization option, but not set to on, in the default, sky shader, but as stuff below, that's an option, it'd be nice . .
ps. having a stylized sky shader, might be nice, for more ' toon ' games, but maybe that's easier to make, for each project or, too ' difficult ' to make into ' one for all ' shader . . :(( . . .
I need these things, for a game I'm making, but maybe others could use them, to create very unique or, ' custom ' looks, all kinds of clouds, green clouds, gas clouds . . if one could animate the clouds, so they look like a storm - front, on the dark horizon, it'd be super - good . . :O
