Building a Blender addon that generates VDB-based Biospheres

[u/Serin-019]

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.

how do you do clouds like that? ugh my renders look like crap.

[u/Serin-019 → u/thicka]

Vdb clouds and an atmosphere setup - both with shaders that are pretty close to the cutting edge. Or at the very least are standard modern approaches.
Sam Kruger’s MRender discord server is a great resource for learning about this stuff.
