I am trying to create clouds using cycles, but they are looking too squared. I am using volume and the modifiers are:
The mesh I am using is a simple meatball.
How can I create clouds with more details?

$\begingroup$ Is there any specific reason for you to go through the process of adding an empty volume object and then a Mesh to Volume modifier on it, instead of just setting up a volumetric shader on your mesh directly? $\endgroup$– Lauloque ♦Commented Nov 11, 2022 at 0:58

$\begingroup$ btw, go to Light Paths and turn volume bounces up 1 or 2, it'll give you some lighter color options $\endgroup$– Allen SimpsonCommented Nov 11, 2022 at 6:00

You need to increase the "Voxel Amount" in your Mesh to Volume modifier. You can think of a voxel as a 3D pixel. The more pixels/voxels, the finer the resolution. This will increase the computations required, so adjust by small increments to avoid soft/hard locking your PC.

$\begingroup$ @ViniciusMorais You're welcome :) It's also a little difficult to see a difference without enough samples because the edges are so soft. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 11, 2022 at 15:16
