Hey all,

This is the last video in the Alien orb series. In this video we go over some volumetric god rays and we simulate some translucency. I tried multiple approaches for the god rays, sampling the volume in different ways. But in the end, one of the cheaper solutions turned out to look the best. Sometimes you get lucky like that! So here we are doing shadows, god rays and 'bloom' for 1 Gyroid distance call each. Pretty neat if you ask me ;)

Let me know what you think!
