Is there a way to add global clouds to a scene?

I am using the PBR sky and HDRP. Is there a way I could add clouds and stars in the night sky I made? It looks hilarious with just a moon up there. I open to using other skies if it means I can have clouds.

When I looked in the docs about clouds there is a new cloud override in volumes for the latest preview of HDRP… If this is the only way to go, how do I get it? Just upgrade to the latest preview of Unity?

UPDATE: I updated to the newest Unity and HDRP both preview/beta. I’m supposed to have the cloud override but I don’t. I can’t figure out how to do stars and clouds. I mean with the fog I can make it look somewhat interesting but I want some clouds.

You can have stars by using a space emission texture (cubemap)

The cloud override got removed recently and is currently being reworked

Rework on cloud layer feature (to simulate top layer of cloud) has been done and will be (hopefully) available in the next HDRP version.
