The Importance of Volumetric Lighting in Blender 2.8 Eevee | TutsByKai

Today, I explain how important Volumetric Lighting is in Blender 2.8 Eevee, and why you should use it more often, to get a more cinematic feel.

You can also create a REALLY cool cloud effect in eevee by mixing two volume setups (one high density one low) with a noise texture, it’s really cool and you could definitely make some neat environments with it (look up eevee cloud tutorial and one should pop up). You can also change the color of the volumetric “fog” effect, and combining this with the cloud thing could create some really neat effects. Might be worth a video.

Man, learning how to do Volumetrics very fast was very nice!

[PetRatPro]

Man, I love volumetrics, they look so cool and are so fun, I wish they rendered faster in cycles.

I really like eevee I wish there was a way to use it with the 2.78 UI and controls, I just can’t get used to all the new stuff.

This changes everything for me.. thank you!!

I don't understand how a Fresnel shader on the World Nodes makes any difference. I do like your consistent use of World Nodes for Volume where a lot of other people are ramming "domains" in for the effect.

[daviderwin]

Fresnel: the "S" is silent, so it is pronounced "fren-ELL".
BTW thanks for doing this video. Could make the difference between POP! and flop in some renders.

Wow, didn't know about mixing scatter and absorption.

[leecaste]

Is the volume absorption doing anything? Because its density is set to 0.000, I think you're just lowering the volume scatter effect with the factor at 0.5 from the mix shader.

I'm in trouble, the fog of the flame is a lot of noise, I hope I can share this technology in the future, thank you.

what about the render times?.. it renders that fast?, , i can do the same thing in 3ds max but it takes lots of time to render big volumetrics and algo having a smooth light +fog

[merinMeriyarin]

is this method using a Box that has been set up to Wireframe?

When he started talking it reminded me of the Minecraft trailer
"Let's go to a place..."

[LGWaffle]

i should probably switch to blender 2.8

UOHHHH! Do you have any courses our Gumroad tutorials? *Sorry my bad English.
