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":
[Q] Do those clouds create god rays if a sun lamp shines through them?
ketre that is done with the density
Or in the fog
[Q] is there a way to make them more transparent. for example create them to surrond the character as tho standing in the mist
YES
SAVE
They always had one on cartoons
I have an idea, have one of those clouds rain over a Native American
We have lots of sun, enough to give away
That's too bad. Fog is beautiful
