procedural-clouds

You can render volumetric clouds in Three.js by applying shader-based raymarching techniques to generate high-fidelity cloudscapes with realistic density, lighting, and self-shadowing. This approach replaces flat skyboxes with dynamic, volumetric geometry.

Yes, volumetric cloud rendering supports WebGL2 fallbacks using mesh-cluster and billboard cloud paths. This ensures broad compatibility across environments where WebGPU support is not available.

Yes, procedural clouds support time-of-day coloring, wind-driven drift, and god rays to simulate dynamic day and night cycles. These shader-based lighting models adjust atmospheric backdrops across different times.

The best way to add realistic clouds to a flight scene is using volumetric raymarching, which provides physically-inspired lighting and self-shadowing. This creates high-fidelity atmospheric backdrops suitable for flight environments.

Yes, you need Three.js r170 or later to use WebGPU raymarching for procedural clouds. This version provides the necessary WebGPU support required for the advanced shader-based rendering pipelines.

Raymarching procedural cloudscapes can be computationally intensive, requiring advanced shader pipelines. If performance is a concern, you can utilize the WebGL2 fallback paths with mesh-cluster or billboard clouds for better compatibility.
