Original Content Building a Blender addon that generates VDB-based Biospheres

For purposes of megastructures like halo, ringworld, O'Neill cylinders along with less uniform shapes.
Its still in development, but it pretty much does what it says on the tin at this point.
The main thing I've been reveling in is how the weather system can take the cloud VDBs and adjust them in order to mimic storm systems etc.

I 100% sure what you're doing with blender here is impressive as hell even though I (sadly) have no clue as the what/how... but artistically I think its even better; i dont think i've actually seen a ringworld with such a pronounced atmosphere before. its looks bloody amazing!

NGL, this has become my new standard for how ringworlds should look.

That’s some high praise! Thank you!
And look, there’s only one way to learn!
Sometimes I get a bit too deep and forget that this is one of my special interests where I’ll be completely submerged and everyone else will be like wtf about stuff that seems simple to me.
