@Igor FYI: I'm not sure what changed, but as of today (Jan 19, 2023) I now have ads all over my screen on this site. Top bottom, left and right of my screen. I haven't changed anything and am still in good standing with my memberships.
Huh? See attached. I'm shooting particles down a spline via spline wrap. There is a tracer object on the emitter and then that all goes into a Sweep with an N side to draw the cables. In this example, I'm rotating and scaling the splines down to a twisty point. All good and working as expected.
Here's what I can't figure out: I want to randomize the scale of the Nside so I get slightly different sized cable diameters. Any ideas?
(PS - Don't have X particles - trying to keep this native).
Thanks Fritz! Yes, this happens with any vdb file and isn't specific to Pyro. I'll ask in the Corona forum and hope this isn't a limitation of the engine.
It's free 🙂 And I think it works better then the built in solution. Looks like he actually calls it Magic Solo. This might be personal preference, but I like it better since it is really simple - select your object/objects and hit the plug in. You get your objects and associated materials solo'd until you hit the button again. Simple.
Hi! I have a Pyro workflow question - maybe just VDBs in general. I've set up a sim - really simple smoke sliding down a ramp and into a "window" - just a simple test. I set up the sim and it looks good so I cache it. Then I turn off the Pyro elements in my scene and load in a Corona Volume Grid and load in the Cached VDB file:
Here's the question: The VDB bounding box gives me darkness/shadow/shading error where it overlaps the other geometry (see attached) - so how can I run the VDB sim through the geometry without getting this dark effect where it overlaps?
Very nice! I know these kinds of scenes with so many objects and high poly counts aren't easy to pull off and keep organized. I like the brighter white balance of the daytime shots better - the night shots feel a bit too amber/buttery, but I think it comes down to personal taste.
Great start! I would say needs a great sky and lots of foliage. The forefront tree feels a bit weird as just a blank trunk, I'd find a nice lower branch or cheat the whole tree down to get some forefront foliage in there to frame the shot and add to the depth. Keep going!
