  • Change Clouds From Black To White

    Posted by Josh Malyn on March 29, 2010 at 4:00 pm

    Simple question I’m sure. I’m new to C4D and I used the cloud tool to create clouds. When I render the clouds remain black when I need them a white. Where do I go to change this? Thanks for any help.

    Volumetric clouds respond to lights, so you either have to enable the Sun light in the sky object’s basic tab, or else create a light that shines on the cloud and drag it into the Lights box in the sky object’s Volumetric Clouds tab.

    Although I appreciate your help I still get clouds that are black. Not sure if this has to do with the alpha as I have enabled the sun in the sky object’s basic tab and I have also tried dragging it into the sky object’s Volumetric Clouds tab. I’m trying to make a simple animation moving the camera up from clouds to reveal a logo with clouds around it. I keep bumping into changing the alpha option in the sky object but I can’t seem to find it nor am i sure if that’s what I need. I am new at C4D and have watched some tuts on the basics but the dark clouds continue to hang over my project as if a sign. thanks again.
