The clouds on microTech seem different from those in the Pyro demo shown at CitizenCon. Is this due to performance reasons, or why do they seem different?

Fundamentally, they're the same. They're using the same system. They just use a different amount of a different type of data that goes into them. And that was mostly because the direction for the Pyro clouds was a very different one than for the microTech ones. But fundamentally, they are the same clouds and they should perform almost the same. And they will hopefully come out with Pyro then. But there's fundamentally no real difference between them.
