More information about Rayleigh, MIE and the composition of the atmosphere:

Concept of phase:
The "Phase" parameter controls how much the lighting will bounce around inside the medium and get scattered. In some ways, this setting is similar to the "Diffuse/Specular" settings of a surface material.

A phase of 0.0 means that the lighting will bounce around more and will appear more diffuse. Values greater than 0.0 produce what is known as "forward scattering". Forward scattering means the lighting doesn't bounce around in the medium as much and is mostly visible when travelling towards the camera. On the other hand, negative numbers will produce "backward scattering' which means that volumetric lighting will mostly be visible as it travels away from the camera.

This episode covered the lack of knowledge that I was missing for a long time thank you. a beautiful and logical introduction to lighting

I'm hitting the like button in every video, great course dude. Thank you very much for sharing.

Man, by chance I stumbled upon your channel. I have watched so many videos about MagicaVoxel 101s but none, absolutely none of them explain the way you do. You are awesome. Lucky for me, I found your channel. Keep up the good work man.

[badrkasbaoui]

You deserve more than subsctiption Bro, keep it up <3

Lo explicas todo súper bien, gracias mil por tomarte tu tiempo y esfuerzo en compartir tu conocimiento :)

[pxgvsvs]

Those lessons are well edited and organized and took little time to absorb, not boring at all, thanks for your effort. Im on magica voxel to make dioramas in isometric view, i like both simplicity of voxels and naturalism, your videos gonna help me a lot.

[ellasze]

Thank you for explaining so detail! Now I finally understand how the lighting works!!!

[Ramksh]

Thank you so much! I got a bit bogged down with the lightning settings and your videos has been really helpful!

[ottisots]

Thank you for the series! I'm learning a lot 🔥

[sissonor]

your videos are pure masteerclass!
thank you very much 😀

[DanielMaestral]

Ola, Pedro! Thanks for the videos about MV. You've made these very useful and informative and I'd appreciate if you'd remain as elaborate as you were.
This one in particular, might be seen as long and not for beginners but you've managed to wrap in all the explanations within 17 minutes. I'm sure your preparation was much much longer - hence, thanks again for an excellent introduction to lighting in MV

[Hooiizz]

Hello Sir! Your channel is very informative! Thanks a lot 👌❤

[youdi]

Amazing tutorials! How do you get the light effect on the object themselves, like in the house you modelled it has light in the windows.

[DrPixl]

I really want to know if i Can import obj with all complexe material like fog, glass and clouds.
😁🙏
Thanks for your vidéos i actually learn lots of things !!!

Hello Pedro, so this might sound stupid but. i use it on mac and i don't see the ground (no ground) option. i feel my pannel is hidden i don't know how to get it shown.
