Stands out in the superhive library for pairing 80-plus one-click presets with an EEVEE-focused setup and a set of training scenes.

What is Quick Clouds & Fog?

Quick Clouds & Fog is a Blender add-on from Alexandr Zhuravlev for creating fog, clouds, and haze. It covers a wide range, from a single cloud to an entire cloud array, and can produce various types of fog including cosmic nebulae. The add-on is aimed at adding atmospheric depth to a scene's backdrop.

The library includes more than 80 high-quality presets that apply with one click, along with 10 ready-made scenes for training. Three types of noise with layered overlay expand the possibilities, and a global mask offers additional control. The settings are intuitive throughout.

The add-on is specifically designed to work with the EEVEE engine, making it suitable for scenes with animation. Presets ending in the letter E are configured for EEVEE, while presets without that letter were created for Cycles — those will display in EEVEE but appear slightly different. A Documentation section provides detailed instructions on how to use the add-on.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Quick Clouds & Fog support?

Quick Clouds & Fog lists compatibility with Blender 4.1, 4.0, and 3.6. If you're on one of those versions, the add-on should fit into your setup as expected. For any version outside that range, it's worth checking the developer's page before installing, since compatibility beyond the listed builds isn't confirmed. Matching the add-on to a supported Blender release is the safest way to get the presets and tools working as intended, and it avoids surprises once you start applying effects to a scene.

Does Quick Clouds & Fog work with EEVEE or Cycles?

Quick Clouds & Fog is specifically designed to work with the EEVEE engine, which makes it suitable for scenes with animation. Its presets follow a naming convention: those ending in the letter E are configured for EEVEE, while presets without that letter were created for Cycles. The Cycles presets will still display in EEVEE, but they'll look slightly different. If you're rendering in EEVEE, the E presets give you the closest match to their intended appearance, so it's worth keeping the naming in mind as you pick a starting point.

Is Quick Clouds & Fog free to use?

Quick Clouds & Fog is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details it's best to check the developer's page directly before you download. The add-on is distributed under a GPL license, which is the standard open-source license used across Blender add-ons. Reviewing the developer's page will also confirm any conditions attached to using the presets and the included scenes in your own projects, so you know exactly what you're working with.

How do I get started with Quick Clouds & Fog?

Quick Clouds & Fog includes a Documentation section with detailed instructions on how to use the add-on. You can read through it to learn the workflow quickly, or work with the add-on intuitively thanks to its straightforward settings. The package also bundles 10 ready-made scenes intended for training, which give you working examples to explore. Between the documentation, the intuitive controls, and the training scenes, there are several ways to get comfortable with how the presets and tools behave before you build your own effects.
