    It is Fennec for Foxes by AM alias Red Fox. I just needed something that does not take so much resources.

    The clouds are taking a lot of power from my computer, so mostly CPU rendering.

    Maybe an appropriate HDRI? https://polyhaven.com/a/quarry_cloudy or https://polyhaven.com/a/sunflowers

    Both could have a low enough horizon to work with only the sky being visible.

    Regards,

    Richard

    WHAT is that animal?

    I think that is @Richard_Haseltine in his new disguise......

    But those ears! Richard says ears are very important to a cat. I didn't know that, and when I put earmuffs on him he was nearly run over by a snowcat. Do you suppose those giant ears are designed to compensate for my grievous error?

    I am not a fox. Cats generally beat foxes up* (though I don't know if fenecs are tougher than the general fox).

    * That is most toonish I have seen our current cat being - a dark dbrown blur in the middle of the lawn which turned out to be the cat chasing a fox chasing the cat. Eventually the fox broke away and legged it, with the cat in pursuit.

    What does the fox say?

    Asking where the geese are.

    Test of the preset: USC2 Snake Bridge 05
    with hdri from Poly Haven.
    Much faster rendering: 4 minutes 48 seconds.

    VDBs can be such pains when rendering speedwise. 

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 26,187

    I made a scene with just VDB clouds and rendered it from several Sun-Sky directions. I use those renders in the Environment Pane as a Backdrop for UltraScenery renders. It is much faster than rendering those VDB clouds every time. Also Sunflowers from PolyHaven is my favorite HDRI for use with UltraScenery renders I usually set the White Point in Tone Mapping to a yellowish color to reduce the strong warm tint of the Sunflowers HDRI. It has a low flat horizon and lovely clouds.
