Does anyone know how to contact the creators of Dark clouds?

I have a request for two simple features I think would be worth adding to the plugin.
1:
the option of having an object number for the box the clouds are drawn onto. (I want to add fog without losing my sky -for night time)

2:
and access to a variable that switches when the rain has started/stopped(i know it turns on when cloud level is 7+ but it would be nice to have a moment of rain variable switch so you can add rain sounds and other things.

I dont think they would be too much trouble to add in and would be great additions in my opinion.

for the record - dark clouds is an brilliant plugin and it adds a level of amazing quality to any project it is used in. no complaints from me, just a suggestion.

You can try contacting them but I tried a few times and never got a response. Try posting on the main thread here:

Fog should not affect DC at all as it just renders to the backdrop. You can manually apply the rendered image to a plane and position the plane a set distance away from the camera if you want it to be affected by fog.

I agree this would be nice (knowing when it's raining)...

I would just like to see the commands in it that are broken get fixed. I also tried emailing the developer and got no response.

For rain you are actually better off doing it yourself, as the rain in DC only shows on the backdrop, and falls behind your terrain or any other objects, making it look unnatural.

Yeah this is a great plugin but still could use some more features.

I agree also.

Some features I would like to see.

1. If it's not already, make it support multicore processors.
2. It would also be nice to have lighting. It looks VERY nice on his videos.

Their main thread is already locked for posting. They need to start a new one soon.
