About Volumetric Clouds Generator

Volumetric Clouds Generator by Daro Source provides a workflow for adding cloud volumes to Blender without constructing shader networks. The add-on supports both Cycles and Eegee and runs on Blender 2.83 or later. Users select cloud types such as simple cumulus or combined cumulus‑cirrus cloudscapes and then modify parameters including density, color, size, shape, wind, coverage, roundness and detail effects. Clouds are added via View3D > Add > Volume and edited in the Object Properties panel. Two render presets are included: a low‑quality preset for interactive editing and a high‑quality preset for final rendering. Lighting is supplied by Blender’s standard lights; the add‑on does not generate lighting. Eevee’s volume rendering limits still apply.
