Unsure if this is the area to post something about darkclouds, but I guess I'll go with it.
I recently bought Darkclouds and was having some fun with it, until I tried to move my camera into the clouds.
When that happened the clouds stopped appearing, and No matter what I did, I couldn't see them again until I ran the program again.
I noticed that DarkClouds have 3 versions, so I downloaded the oldest version to see if it had the same problem, it didn't. I was able to fly above the clouds, into them, and all that lovely stuff.
I'm trying to figure out why The newest version of DarkClouds has this problem, but I'm coming up at a loss.
Heres my code

The latest version didn't run as well for me on one of my PC's as they upgraded the graphics somewhat. It meant it didn't work on some older graphics cards. That could be the problem.

Well, My CPU may be old, but My video card shouldn't be causing this. it just seems like a render error of some sort, as the clouds DO show up correctly at first.
Then when you try to even move a inch into them or above, the clouds disappear.
This is just puzzling. O_O

I get the same problem. Just as you say, the clouds disappear when I fly through them. I hope this is fixed soon.

I guess We'er waiting for someone to stumble onto this post that knows what the problem is, or perhaps I should post this in the Reported Bugs forum section?
what do you guys think?

Agreed. Check for an existing post first and then post it as a bug with a working example code (the code you posted should be fine).

Also post on the Program Announcements thread for DarkCLOUDS as maybe the developers (SIMUL) are watching that thread?

You could report it in the "Bug Reports" board or on the DarkCLOUDS thread.

Thread is in the DBPro board. Here is the link.

[Edit]

I just saw that the thread was locked. so I guess you have to post it on the "Bug Reports" board.
