I was using a custom Blender build by @samuel_krug (LUT-based volume phase-function) and a Mie LUT by @_martinsh to render the iridescent volumes in Cycles.

Rediscovering the joy of creating art for myself.
Just playing with noise, a bit of math, shaders, and light.
No real goal other than making cool-looking imagery.

Still very much prefer this over stupid prompt-roulette.

Made with #Blender3D / #Nuke / #DaVinciResolve.

@themikepan Awesome and super nerdy project! Images look great.
Any plans to release the app?

@polyhaven Not a potato expert but isn't that a "red potato" rather than a "sweet potato"?
"Sweet" model though! :)

@samuel_krug Ufffff ... that's top-notch! This looks a shit ton more convincing than most cg cloud shots in the majority of today's blockbuster movies/series.

@henningsanden @SamSantala Exactly! Was super sad to see forums getting replaced with social media platforms and chats. I still dont understand it fully as they're not even similar in how they work.
