Thin Clouds and Fog - Visible Volumetric Lights with Built-in Noises Part 1: The Magic of Visible Lights will cover creating clouds, fog and nebulae and Part 2: Erupting Plasma and Sliced Clouds will address solar flares and puffy clouds. Due to their complexity, we will deal with them in two parts.

In addition to those mentioned, there are other techniques that are more straightforward, but which you might not think of initially: using only onboard tools rather than the approaches mentioned above. Additionally, Cinema 4D still hosts the aging voxel-based PyroCluster* system, a former standard tool for a variety of volumetric effects. Technical approaches for Cinema 4D* normally are done with fluid- or particle-simulations with contemporary third-party plugins such as Turbulence FD* or X-Particles*. Volumetric effects such as clouds, fog, nebulae or fire-like structures are a common task in the daily work of a 3D artist. Creating Clouds, Fog and Nebulae in 3D Digital Art
