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":
@ritag not even a Bodhran?
Spikey, I am a terrible singer and I forget lines of any song.
@ritag but I bet you can sing
hang on I DJ for a station haha I have lots of favorites
I believe Epic Rock must be a rock song that reached Epic status
I work in a music shop and I have never once picked any instrument to play, not an electric guitar or an ukulele, not even a tin whistle.
ketre What constitutes "epic rock"? My interest is piqued
I just saw that 100 members RSVPed to this event
I'm a sucker for catchy melodies. As long as a song has a catchy tune, I don't care if it's hardcore, punk, folk, pop rock, etc
Well slipknot is quite heavy but I find this album a little more "mild".
Chop suey is a great song from SoaD
