## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use the Vanta.js Clouds effect (https://www.vantajs.com/?effect=clouds, MIT, source github.com/tengbao/vanta/blob/master/src/vanta.clouds.js) as a bright full-frame sky behind a title, travel or weather beat. Load three.js r134 and vanta@0.5.24/dist/vanta.clouds.min.js and mount VANTA.CLOUDS on a full-frame div with mouse, touch and gyro controls off. It is a single shader driven by the iTime uniform, so render it frame-exact: cancel effect.req and on each frame set effect.uniforms.iTime.value = seconds × speed, then call effect.renderer.render(effect.scene, effect.camera). Tune skyColor, cloudColor, cloudShadowColor and the three sun colors for golden hour or overcast, and keep speed at 0.5–1. Pass scale: 1 for a sharper 1080p render than the default upscaled buffer.
