Density Shading

Method

This node shades particles by the density of particles in a given area of space. More particles close together results in a brighter shading result. The node uses a bounding box connected to the Bounds Node input to define the area of space that it considers. The area of space sampled per particle to determine density depends on this bounding box: it is segmented discretely, so a larger bounding box will cause a larger area per particle to be tested.
