Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Does anybody have a link to where I can get stuff like Fractal Noise for TVP? once there was one up here, but it's long dead.
would appreciate much!

Cheers

as far as I can remember, it was included in the "tool set" (or "Power Box") from Benoit Saint-Moulin...
so I think Benoit would be better than me to talk about fractal noise in TVPA.
(no guaranty, as my memory lacks frequently)

do Benoit attend this forum?

Can anybody else help on how I can generate animated clouds/fog/myst effect? (I think Mirage has this option in its plugins, doesn't it?)

www.thephi.com/tvp/multiplanetest.mov (dont mind the jitter, its the codec I used... )

I was testing the multiplane camera function way back when, I didnt save the project because I was just playing. The fog is made of 4 layers (in a separate project 2x the width) with just an airbrush with 3 colors - and then the layer brought down in opacity.

Otherwise, you'd be looking to use with the smoke particles in the FX stack - that is animatable - and could probably generate what you're after.

FX - Rendering - Paticles Generator - FXBin - Presets - Pyrotechnics - and whatever smoke you're after... or make your own

very nice clouds there Evar!

make your own, using your own particule-source-brush matching your own style,
with your own settings, matching with your scene, and don't be afraid to multiply the Particule-FX
on different layers to play with different settings, adding time-stretchings, transparencies, ...
so you will get a better "in depth" feeling.
on top of that, I personnally would apply a Zwarp-FX* using the same source (but +time-offset),
or a turbulence* animated layer as Zbuffer to add complex deformations and get a more organic/fluidity animation.
can you tell us more on what exactly you want to achieve, malcooning?

** if you haven't these, use the warpping-grid with few cels, in spline mode.
