Default Re: XFile Creation and XFileClasses Effects

So, the problem with using stellar effects for the clouds is that the camera isn't fix on a normal to the axis of rotation... and the effects are not really 3D, so the clouds would rotate over the north pole or something.

A model with two (or more) override-able textures, sounds both like the right way of doing it, and from what I've seen so far, not in SE5's mod-playbook.

Dang, it would be killer to have planets with clouds rotating over the surface... and maybe some climate conditions linked lightning effects in the clouds... and a temperature linked polar ice texture overlaying the land.

Okay, maybe the lightning could be effects... but three layers for terrain, moving clouds and polar ice... *dreaming*
