This is an edited version of the stream with limited rabit trails, chat interaction, and flubs. Also don't forget that speeding up the playback is a wondering tool for watching long-form videos!
If you're like me, a few years ago you tried volumetric rendering with Cycles. And after waiting 30 seconds for your computer to calculate 1/100 samples, you cancelled the render and never tried it again. The fact is volumetrics are extremely complex to calculate and sloooooow to render.
Until Eevee! Volumetrics in Eevee shocked me the moment I heard it was a feature and I have to say they're quite competent. Finally we can edit volumetrics quickly. Sure you lose some authenticity but it's well worth adding this tool to your Blender utility belt.
In this stream we will focus our creativity toward clouds, starting with a simple cloud chunk first and then trying out a larger "cloudscape":
:D
If the world inside a computer is self-aware, they must be freaking out right now
It's more like a Picasso
These give me a Pixar vibe and I love it!
That is cool.
I have some nodes on lightning in my scrapbooks.
I blame out-correct
Lightning
It's not a problem for following the stream, but for quizing it's tough
[Q] How about a "creating lighting" livestream so we can make a thunderstorm out of these clouds?
