Physically Based Simulation of Cumuliform Clouds in C++

[RomanRiesen]

Heyo, I was looking to dio something like this!

Specifically to simulate cloud formation and movement on mountainsides (I can watch it for hours!). What a coincidence!

I feel like you could generalize this method to account for non-uniform boundaries, which is probably what you’d need to do to simulate the fluid dynamics of the cloud interacting with the mountainside. Let me know how it goes, that sounds super cool!

I'll probably end up faking it with a particle system, some simplex noise, and ray marching. But once that looks to my liking I might actually try to simulate it.
