Clouds on Moons

[ares2101]

I started working on a scene for a double planet this afternoon and I seem to have come across something odd.  Is it not possible to create a cloud layer on an additional planet in TG2?  I never noticed it before, but I don't seen an option for placing the cloud layer on another planet in the scene.  If I try pasting a cloud node and attaching it to the other planet's atmosphere node, the scene goes black.

I may be on the wrong track here (not unknown...) but check the internal network of your new planet. You should find your atmos settings in there.

"If I try pasting a cloud node and attaching it to the other planet's atmosphere node, the scene goes black." <-- Tried it.

I've seen this happening before. Here's what I did. Go to your second planet, disconnect the atmosphere and cloud(s) nodes. reconnect the atmosphere node to your planet, then connect it to the cloud node and connect the cloud node to the planet again. Also useful when moving a planet and the atmosphere is "stuck" in place, floating in free space. Its some kind of 'reset'.
Hope it works for you.

New planets come with an atmosphere by default. Secondary planets have internal surface and atmosphere shader networks though. You need to right-click the secondary planet node(s) and go to Internal Network to see them and make connections there.

If your new planets aren't coming in with an atmosphere attached, what method are you using to create them? What version of TG2 are you using?

Odd thing to have to do, but it fixed it.  Thanks.
