The deck overtopping the saddle's west lip. Standing 1.4 m above a col with a cloud floor 140 m below it you cannot see that floor near you — the lip cuts it off and the deck only reappears kilometres out as a band under the horizon. What actually fills shot 1's frame with cloud is what the shot list says fills it: the pour. A standing cascade climbing the west flank out of the deck, and over the lip a train of rolls that rise, crest, slide onto the col and die.
Exports
Pour.build(root)— 44 bodies of cloud on one shared ellipsoid mesh.Pour.tick(t, dt)— every roll's position, scale, spin and opacity as a pure function of film time.Pour.setUnderfire(v)— how much fire the cloud is catching from below.Pour.count().
Notes
- The alpha is a function of the INTERPOLATED normal, so a coarse sphere reads as a fluted drum rather than as a body of powder. 34x20 is enough.
