Ashterra is my first attempt at clouds fully from scratch, and im pretty happy with them

Ashterra is a captivating and unique world with a temperate desert-like environment that stands in stark contrast to the traditional image of arid deserts. Its red surface adds a surreal touch. Despite the desert-like appearance, the planet is surprisingly humid, creating an otherworldly blend of arid and tropical conditions.

The sky above Ashterra is a canvas of ever-changing cloud formations, ranging from fluffy white cumulus clouds to dramatic thunderheads that roll across the horizon. These clouds bring intermittent rainfall, sustaining the planet's unusual ecosystem.

The planet's landscape is dominated by intricate mountain chains that crisscross its surface, providing stunning vistas and challenging terrain for any explorers. These mountains rise majestically from the red desert, their peaks often obscured by the shifting cloud cover.

    @Junkthunder you really should. the more you do it, the better you get. you can also use a basic arithmetic (A+B) which combines 2 noises into one.

    @AK5Z Selena is another name for our moon but it also refers to planets without an atmosphere like mercury

    @Junkthunder Oh okay. Just thinking because I think you should add some rocky planets to it.

    @AK5Z it's made from the Ocean template. It took me a while to figure out how noises and clamps work together but now i understand it. :)
