Field Cloud Material
Method #
A 3D field material suitable for smoke and cloud volumes, which shades solely based on density. The Scattering parameter is used to control the ratio of scattering vs absorption. Clouds have high scattering, low absorption; smoke has low scattering and high absorption.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Tint Colour Tints the field.
Density Scales the density of the field.
Scattering The ratio of scattering vs absorption.
Scatter Mode The method of scattering.
- Isotrophic : Uniform in all directions
- Anisotrophic : None uniform
Scatter Anisotrophy How much none uniformity the scatting has.
Scattering Colour Controls the ratio of scattering vs absorption per colour channel.
Inputs
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
