Cloud brightness control

I believe the procedural clouds in V-Ray Sun are likely an approximation and do not perform full ray-marching calculations.
However, we would like to have a way to control the brightness of the shaded areas of the clouds (i.e., scattering).

In other words, we would like a “fake” phase function control.

    Would it work if you can select the clouds in Cryptomatte and be able to apply Color layers over them?
