and to think it's a low tier 0 stuff , it's just dynamic cloud , not dynamic weather and all plus they will improuve cloud logic formation and shape and all my god , this is absolute
Clouds are so often overlooked in games, it’s no longer acceptable to have a 2D skybox. Think back to RDR2 when you went on that hot air balloon ride and how amazing it was to witness the volumetric cloud system on full display.
What i don't think people fully appreciate with this is how long you had to sit in front of your PC while simultaneously not moving and making sure you didn't get disconnected for inactivity. Very cool video.
It is remarkable how they made it so the clouds look as if they are simulating the natural process of forming from condensing from rising moisture, then disperse over time, like real life! I am often hard on CIG, but when they impress me, they impress me!😊 This is beautiful!
note, the cloud layer is *placeholder*. The real enchilada with sauce is the reveal they had in the recent CitCon of a full dynamic weather sim. If it blows peoples minds *now*...
@@kazzsaru They blew my mind with moons, then when they added atmospheres and light scattering effects my mind was blown agin, then when they added static clouds with little droplets of water when you fly trough them? yup, mind blown agin. This video blows my mind yet aginnnnnn. And the GENESIS presentation? i think i might actually die if i see that in game my mind cant be blown that many times
Star Citizen is a technical marvel. I really can't believe what i am seeing sometimes. Like standing on a space station outside a planet, i can actually see a big city on the planet itself and ships taking off. Even on planetside you can see ships incoming. There is no "skybox" like in most games, they have created everything from the ground up.
It’s one thing to read it in the patch notes. Another to see it with your own eyes. Thank you for giving us backers who don’t get to play it often a chance to catch up in game instead of just reading about it ❤.
Just LOOK at the persistent cloud cover on those mountain ridges at the top of the planet! This is a real phenomenon called "orographic cloud". I am really impressed by that!
Seeing a big cloud cast a shadow visible from orbit, that looks like it covers enough space to cover a medium sized country on a world map (even if the scales arent literally that big) is so awe inspiring. Like that whole area now looks like night time yet you can see sunlight in 3 of 4 directions if you loook far enough, for kilometerson end, thats so fkin cool
This was beautiful. To think this is only there first iterations of the dynamic weather. Can't wait tell its doing more, like forming huge storms with tornadoes or hurricanes, dust storms as well.
Insane video. you captured this where it looks like CIG made it for some citizen con event or something. Also crazy to think we started with pong and have this type of shit now.
this is absolutly amazing. I just wait so many years this is one of the best things ever in SC I love your Vid and the Music. I try to see it if the new build is up Pyrooo Lets Gooooo
I promise you Chris Roberts had nothing to do with these developments. The credit goes to the devs that did! The people working at CIG are creating systems that have never before been seen in the gaming industry, and while Chris Roberts is the brain child of Star Citizen, the devs themselves deserve just as much credit for bringing that vision to life!
@@nickmosley6589 Of course, without the exceptional work of developer Chris Roberts there would have been no way he could have brought Star Citizen to life, but I'm talking about him who had a crazy ambition to push the boundaries of what was possible.
Just one word and only meant in a very respectful positive way: sick! It blows my mind seeing this while knowing how huge the verse already is and that they dont show you any fkng loading screen!
crazy to think that it's only going to get better, this is the first itteration, they would be geologically driven at some point, factoring altitude, biomes, water, and wind
Can't wait the next update on dynamic cloud that follow mountains, oceans, temperatures, hemisphere ! It's going to look even insane and realistic, btw you are going to see fights, lights, cities, spaceships from space also (this is just thje begining)
Wow, this is incredible. It's everything I had hoped for after watching CitCon. All I feel it's missing now are some wide and wispy stratus clouds - right now it seems to be all cumulus.
The line-shaped regions towards the pole that - I'm assuming due to a mountain range uplifting air - produce static arcs of clouds are really cool. I love how much of the geography of Pyro 4 seems to have been created by that single impact event.
It's stunning. I wonder if they'll ever strive to create vastly different windspeeds, knowing how insane some planets are in reality it'd be really cool to see stuff like that in a space sim like this one. I'm not holding my breath, but if it's one feature creep more that I'd forgive, it's that one.
One word: *BEAUTY!* _The only thing that worries me is that the atmospheric band seems very thin, it seems like the clouds are just a stone's throw from the ground._
I keep trying get in SC but something always happens to put me off. Think I bought 3 ships over the years never used one. Really need put in more effort rather than just funding it 😅. Gratz on the video as a space nerd I can honestly say this is majestic ❤
Amazing.. I forget how unique this game is sometimes. Out of curiosity does anyone know why the reflection of the rings is a bit off around 02:35 .. the orange reflects but looks slightly offset to the left and the white rings don't reflect at all. The moon has no reflection either but I assume it is just not included in the reflection calc. I just wonder is it an issue with the renderer or an active choice to reduce the GPU load or something.
This makes me wonder, maybe someday they can add a planet that has crazy storms and winds, were the clouds move as fast as this sped up footage by default, it seems like something they could do with tweaking just one setting and would be awsome SCFI goodness
This is so well done and must’ve taken you ages. It captures the cloud formation and layers which I didn’t think was coming for a while! Amazing. Subbed for more. Can’t wait for some orbital mechanics to come in too. I saw the planets moving around the system there but I don’t think that is what they meant by the orbital work to come? Something about shards currently is stopping them from full implementation I believe?
@ videos like yours help create that sense of wonder and marvel for the game so keep it up if you can. Quality beats quantity in my opinion and this was quality 🙌
amazing video, do you have any news or predictions about the new planet genesis system, when we could have those features like the front weather ingame?
wait, they have them in already? We getting this part of Genesis!? I mean they just showed that in Citcon... i never thought we would see that in game so soon!
@@Martin-sx4bx and dynamic clouds... Well first, Genesis is also a lot more than just wather. It's the name for the whole tool series they introduce with planettech V5, like starcetect, new shadering, new landscape creation and destrebution etc. and second For dynamic wather you need dynamic clouds, wich we don't have in the curent system. And as far as we know only Genesis is able to simulate the clouds like this. That's why i sayied a part of Genesis.
So what I get from this is that it's not a simulation (not surprising) but a mask. Still great for the game, I don't think the effect translates to timelapses though, you can see the mask dragging along rather than being able to have a feeling of high and low pressure zones.
yes this is not including any of the genesis tech that will cause weather front formation. it's likely just in to measure performance with dynamic clouds
Thanks! I got a Dell S3422DWG and used AMD VSR to scale it up to 5120x2160, but because of davinci resolves free limitations I could only render at 3840x2160 lol
I was under the assumption that clouds remained in a fixed position. Is this new to SC? If so is this the same thing they showed at the Genesis presentation at CitCon? Either way, stunning video!
this is likely the dynamic cloud tech but it's not being fed by the genesis data as it's not in. they likely have some set data so that they can test performance before updating the rest of the planets.
Looks like the planet moves but not the clouds. In the first shot you see the movement of the stars in the background align with the movement of the clouds. Looks like the camera/ship moves with the planet rotation. Am i wrong?
yes you are correct xD It's really weird, the noise of the clouds or how you'd call it rotates with the planet, but the clouds themselves don't really which can create this really weird effect if not in the gravity well

The fact that I didn't see one cloud wig out, start flopping around and fall through the planet, is insane!
I never realized how much of an impact that would have on how I saw the planet, but that's so impressive.

I stopped playing amd following star citizen years ago. But this caught my eye, i gotta give it to CIG. the tec is impressive

it would be interesting if they set up jetstreams on planets to help drive dynamic weather fronts as those contribute significantly to our own.

Interesting how at the "north pole" there seem to be two sets of clouds standing still right in front of two lakes. I wonder why that is.
