Hi guys!

Anybody knows how to create fog (volumetric light) on the octane 3ds max plugin?

Tried everything but cant reproduce this photo...

Hi Layla,

The principals are the same as doing this in the standalone.
Take a look here: http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=30412

In short, you need the camera outside the fog volume, then apply an index 1.0 specular material with no reflection onto the volume, and add some scattering to it.

Thanks
Chris.

Hi Chris

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, i cannot reproduce that effect here...
If it´s not too much trouble, could you please post an example scene with a few basic elements, just to see how that works?
Thanks a lot for your help and sorry if i misunderstood something.

No problem, the forum has so much stuff in it that finding things can be difficult even if you know what you are looking for!

Thanks
