object volume

[mstewart152]

how do you fill an object with a volume? when i drag an object under the octane volume, it disappears.

[aoktar]

it just supports spheres and an experimental feature.

oh ok..

so in the near future we'll be able to make volumes in the shape of a mesh?

it's a matter of paid plugins and I don't think to write that as a part of octane. I don't see any appreciation for this kind of add-ons. But I can think to provide a bridge to make it by users.

what?

this would be very useful.... and it works just as i described for Lightwave. I use this feature in LIghtwave to make shaped clouds with Octane.

It is a feature that works with octane and it should be in C4D as well.

I don't think that's a ready function from Octane's itself.

yes it is lol.

Talk to the lightwave plug-in developer.

here is a shot where the clouds are a modeled mesh. Rendered in Octane. I made this shot so i know this.

here is another example of a mesh shaping the volume.

These are not meaning the functionality is build in Octane SDK. Should be an external library or custom code by Juanjo.

ok then... hopefully one day
