VFX Assets just dropped their 2D Cloud Textures Pack—a free collection of 125 cloud textures for all your compositing dreams (or last-minute deadlines). And yes, you read that right: free.
The pack comes in JPEG format with clouds set against black backgrounds, making them perfect for motion graphics, animation, or VFX projects where you need some atmospheric flair. Think background skies, subtle motion graphics vibes, or that one shot the client forgot to tell you about until the eleventh hour.
What’s in the pack?
The 125 images feature mostly cumulus clouds (the fluffy, classic ones), along with a few wispier options and even some jet trails for that “airplane just zoomed by” aesthetic. At 1,024px wide, these are great for background use but maybe not the best choice for those close-up, super-detailed hero shots.
Alpha channels? Nope. But don’t worry—they’re on black backgrounds, so you can use luminance-based keying in Nuke. It’s kind of like using stock FX clips: quick, easy, and satisfying when it just works.
Why you’ll want this pack
If you’ve ever spent too much time scrolling through stock websites for the “perfect cloud,” this pack is your new best friend. Sure, they’re not 4K or pre-cut with alpha, but hey, they’re free, and a little luminance keying never hurt anyone. Whether you’re layering skies in a moody title sequence or just filling in the background of your next VFX shot, these clouds have your back.
Ready to snag them? Head over to VFX Assets and let the cloud magic begin.
