Abridged Recording
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!
Volumetric Rendering *today*, Junior
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":
Someone go read about the atmosphere on Wikipedia
Nooo, Snow and frost are nice, but hailstorms are a pest!
Oh that doesn't sound good
Omar, you'll find out in Canada >:D
Only rainbows from that bunch, I think you made some of that stuff up

IMO I like seeing the problems people in this field might run into. Then we can learn about the though process and trial and error. If we continually see everything work out perfectly we miss out on valuable information.
How about rainbows, snows, frost, hailstones? Have you seen them too?
now that looks fantastic
