This video walks you through the steps needed to create a volumetric cloud using Bifrost extension. We start by converting our input to volume. We create a field out of it and convert it back to volume so it can be complied with by the output node. We also introduce an alternative to the typical output node to be able to toggle between the final result and the render. Last but not least we advect vector fields to create the cloud pattern and use aiStandardVolume to finalize the tutorial. So many tips have been packed into this video so let's get started.
