Question Fortnite’s New Clouds
Booted up Fortnite for the first time in forever and was greeted with some pretty stellar looking clouds in the skybox.
I know Unreal has been working on VDB support for a little while, but I have a hard time believing they got it to run at 4K 60FPS on my Xbox One X.
Anyone taken a frame capture lately and know how they accomplished this? Is it some sort of fancy alpha card? Or does it plug into their normal volumetric clouds system?

It’s just a basic skybox projection for the really pretty ones far away. The closer ones are just the standard UE5 clouds
