Feature Request Add "Clear" as a simple HDRP Volumetric Sky option for 2022.2(b8)

I was testing blending weights of volumetric sky in 2022.2b8. During testing, I tried to blend from blue skies to sparse to overcast.

I tried adjusting the sparse weight slowly upwards without a "Clear" profile, and with weight 0 I had blue skies.


At weight 0.01 for the sparse volume I had quite dense skys suddenly appear.



At weight 1 I had sparse skies



So blending the weight from 0 (blue skies) to 1 (sparse skies) went from blue to a bit dark to lighter. I assume I should put a "clear skies" volume with lower priority than the sparse volume, but my attempts did not come out looking right and did not blend from nothing to sparse properly. E.g. 50% weight did not look half strength of sparse, and near zero I had all sorts of funny artifacts going on.

So my request is to include a correct "Clear" simple sky preset so you can adjust from Clear to Sparse using weights and have clouds go from blue skies to sparse in a nice blend (basically have "lighter than sparse" without resorting to learning custom settings - as a novice user it turned out harder than expected to get a Clear volume right).

[Note: Going from sparse to overcast etc did work.]

 

Thanks, its just setting density alone to zero does not look very good blending from "clear" (density = 0) to sparse. I messed around for a while, but never got settings quite right. That is what led to the request - for people who don't want to learn the intricacies of clouds (which is I assume what "simple" is for). For example, here are some steps along the blend of weights between the two volumes (clear skies to sparse).







Basically the clouds appear, then are bigger then get smaller as you blend to sparse. Their height also changes during the blend (they go higher). So there is more to it that just going "custom" with density set to zero - the intermediate values are not right when the weights are between the start and end point.

I am sure its *possible* to come up with a "clear" profile that is right - the feature request was that its not easy to do that looks good when blending (without understanding all the settings), so if you are providing presets so non-experts can use it and get decent results, I am suggesting a "Clear" simple profile that you test with blending to all the other profiles to make sure the intermediate states look sensible as well. The current simple profiles are great - there is just a gap to me in that blue skies are missing (and its not trivial to get right).
