Octane Volume object and fog/haze Tweet

Hey there,

it took me a while to get volumetric Lights. Somewhere i read that you have to connect a scattering-node to the Environment-Medium and set a medium Radius. By doing so i could not get a noise free volume light. Turns out you have to use the volume medium which is not (as far as i know) available in Modo. You have to use a Nodegraph connect it to the Environment-Medium and set up the volume medium there. I hope that helps!

I connected an octane scattering node with the same values as your nodegraph and got the same result (as far as I can tell)

Hi Hesekiel, I just noticed the attached scene file which is super helpful. Thank you!

That would be the best thing. Odd that it's so technical currently. I still can't make it work, and have given up for now. Just doing it in post
