I love Blender...

And I'm loving Blender 3.1 as much as I did 3.0. One of the things I love most about Blender is that, unlike some other software, it makes making a volume a fast and simple thing to do.

I mean, you take a cube, you create the volume shader and you are done. Add some lights and a model of something and you have a foggy scene in minutes and with Eevee as well you can have a completed shot in next to no time with volumetric shadows and back scattering. It's mental how fast it is.

Now, add in some particles and a bit of turbulence, something floating along and with some recolouring and lens distortion and you've turned a foggy shot into an underwater one.

Not sure if I'm right? Well, watch the video and find out how!

Hope you like it!

Take care, now

Gary Noden

I am a Senior Creative over at Space Digital in the North West of England. I've been creating CG stuff for the TV and Corporate World for (mumble-mumble) years now and have been lucky to work on some amazing projects. I discovered Blender about 9 years ago, opened it and, like so many other, immediately shut it down, but several years ago I needed to so something simple and cost effective (ie. free) and Blender was the only way. I have never looked back and use it now all the time alongside Maya every working day. I also have a YouTube channel called GENVFX where I teach people how to use every modifier one by one and as deeply as I can as well as the occasional tutorial.
