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":
Rita are you back, safe and sound?
I like that - you actually draw the text box where you want it on the screen. That's neat-o.
Classic
He said it!
Is the Screencast Keys tool back for 2.8x ?
Ah yes the Screencast Keys
True.
I guess Suzanne does not feel so good right now
Not more iconic than "And I forgot to turn on my screen cast keys"
