Horizon Forbidden West: Nubis Evolved - Real-time Volumetric Clouds for VFX

Nubis is a Real-Time volumetric cloud system that I developed along with Nathan Vos and others at Guerrilla.

Nubis was originally designed to produce dynamic cloudscapes for the game, Horizon Zero Dawn. You can see some examples here. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/96BbN

In addition to using Nubis for cloudscapes, We now use it for VFX - in this case a giant superstorm. All captures were made on a PlayStation 5.

To learn more about the Superstorms, you can check out the GDC talk that I gave in 2022.
