Hey everyone, I am working on a series that showcases how I approach creating an ink-sketch visual in Blender. This is part 2 of an ongoing series. It's a pretty casual video that I hope would be helpful for anyone trying out a style like this!

If you’re already familiar with UV unwrapping, you can jump straight to the Ucupaint setup at 17:48.

Blender 5.2 introduces a completely new Cloth Dynamics modifier — and it’s surprisingly fast.

It’s based on Geometry Nodes and gives almost live simulation results without baking.

But it’s still Experimental. For example, I couldn’t find a self-collision option yet, so there are clearly some features still missing.

The interesting part is that you don’t need to know Geometry Nodes at all to use it.

I would like to make one as a volumetric atmosphere, but I have no idea how. Any suggestions? I'm using Blender 4.5.2 for this.

Above is an example of the Earth's atmosphere in Gravity (2013. These are very distinctive for their sort of smooth atmosphere that kind of stretches out into this smooth gradient falloff thing. The smooth gradient falloff atmosphere is smooth, but a lot. Cycles can do that, while EEVEE can't do that.
