HOW TO CREATE A VOLUME GRID 'FOG'
In this video, Edwin Braun will show you how to use latest Drop 8 VDB Operators to get volumes, visualize the data and work with them. Firstly, if VDB is new to you, explore OpenVDB.org and if you scroll to Download section, you can avail to many sample models, all free openvdb files that you can work with instantly. Note that these are large volumetric files.
LOAD VDB
Help loads a vdb file onto the particle(s) that user has recently created.
- in this case, we create a FOG field, referenced in LoadVDB - target PGroup : Bunny.
- Import file name: use downloaded 'bunny' file.
- Import to: Add from File Content - Density Fog;
- Import Density file into Fod volume grid.
- Scale Operator can be used to apply variations to the particle(s) that is, data coming into the particle(s) can now be scaled up and down.
ParticleDraw thinkingParticles
- select Bounding Box which presets the volume. Select Interior - you see the bunny files.
- Render i.e. write out the file as an openVDB file.
EXPORT
Select 'All particle in one' to merge the multiple bunny volumetric data into one VDB file.
- hide tP now. Select Arnold or VRay any compatible renderer: render/ material editor : Fog
Render. Wait and you will see the many bunny cloud merged volume.
You notice that despite this work with such large volumetric data, with thinkingParticles Drop 8 powerful VDB New Operators, everything becomes easy to handle. Moreover, being industry-standard this means that any other applications can now read the volume data you created in thinkingParticles.
