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":
I love science and hate science textbooks.
I have the same setup shown. Is anyone else having this problem?
And now Save
Hooray for science
Trivia: the flat bases of clouds mark the boundary between the air layer where the dew point is equal to the ambient temperature (above it, creating the cloud) and the layer where the dew point is lower than the temperature.
ppfbourassa are you on a Mac?
Or add the mapping node?
Did you move it?
[Q]
As soon as I plug the Gradient Texture into Density, my cube disappears.
