Fix the clouds

[Austint30]

You notice the clouds will never rotate when the camera is rotating? The clouds should never be paralell with the camera. Nadeo, can you fix this? It ruins the realistic look to the game.

As I can see in the TM2 Valley trailer, the clouds never rotates, maybe they fixed it and it will update Canyon when Valley will be in Beta or something

You should try standing in a tree and looking upwards while rotating.. THAT is nasty!

I don't think this is about fixing something. The clouds and bushes etc. are textures and there are types that always turn towards the viewer (I think there is a name for that but I can't remember). With the turning, you can't really say they are plain textures from a distance, but like you said, you can definetely see it standing close to it. The decision to make clouds this way was probably made to allow better performance. I mean, while racing in Canyon, you just can't see it's a "fake bush" or something, because you are driving. I agree, it does look "nasty" looking straight up in Storm and turn, but if those things would be 3d, it would be using much resources.
I think it's okay as it is, when you play the games normally, the clouds etc. look really good. I don't think this will be changed but that you have to live with that.

can you make a screenshot, it looks like you have a bug here?

Florent, drive offroad and make a few turns. The camera slightly tilts with the car and the clouds tilt, too. I have a video of me driving all the way to the edge of the map and you can see it extremely clearly.

It's because the clouds are made up of sprites. They always turn to face the camera, just like the trees and cactii in Canyon do as well.

I used to notice the clouds a lot when I first started playing Canyon. Now I don't really notice it anymore. I guess I got used to it.

Timmeh said it quite nicely. It uses less resources this way, so we all get better performance out of the game.
