I need to photograph an island from above and I wanted to do it in one shot, but the clouds get in the way. I think I remember a function where clouds could be turned off, but I can't find it. Does anybody know if this is possible, how to do it, and if this is the best way to take a photo of an island from above? Thanks!

Open the Client menu (Ctrl-Alt-D, or Opt-Ctrl-D on a Mac)

Rendering >> Types >> Clouds

Unfortunately, the setting doesn't stick (just like Disable Camera Constraints) which means you have to reset it every log in....

I was thinking exactly the same thing! Warning to the uninitiated: don't wear a long flexi skirt when skydiving........

I think Disable Camera Constaints might stay set now from log in to log in. I've noticed since I downloaded the new viewer, and checked it once, it's stayed checked.

Yep, it definitely sticks now. It's weird, because I'm totally in the habit of turning it on first thing after login, and it still startles me a bit to see it still on.

Quiet snapshots to disk is also sticky now. :)


ETA: I mean specifically in the new viewer, the one that uses chevrons on the mini-map instead of T's.

Even when just jumping from a building, a flexi skirt should always be combined with sensible underwear! :D

I have just put up a tiny skybox (the room didn't fit on my ground parcel due to a completely different "theme", so I put it up in the sky), and at 240 meters, the clouds really bothered me-I have since moved it to 350 meters, and there's no more clouds. But I rather liked the effect when demonstrating that yes, the broken window on one side of the box really IS phantom and you can fall off....through loads of clouds...and end up on your neighbour's parcel....

Believe me, I've left various parts of myself splattered all over Paris when jumping off the Eiffel Tower, it wasn't pretty :D
