The first test of 3d clouds in Pure (Patreon)
Content
I tried a first implementation of "3D" clouds in Pure. I made the code from the ground and found and solved much problems of LUA.
So actually you see unoptimized rendering. Everything is calculated every frame.
There is no advanced clouds lighting code. This will cause more impact, but with the known optimization from Sol, the frame time of this clouds processing can be lowered drastically.
My goal of this first implementation was a very stable code and very little garbage collection (data created while a frame). Compared to Sol, Pure has way lower data created in a frame. Therefore the LUA code runs much faster.
In Sol those amounts of clouds without any optimization would cause a huge impact on the CPU. Long story short, its on a very good way.
But actual clouds and their processing will take me the most amount of time. So it will take its time to release a version for the first test with clouds.
