Octane Volume Modefier?

[ThaRaven]

Hi,

any explenation to what the "Octane Volume Modefier" does? looks like nothing at the moment.. but im already guessing what it could be used for

I've just been playing with it... It works, but it's not much usable...
All it does - it converts the underlying mesh vertices to volume grid. So, if you e.g. create some standard mesh with a lot of vertices all over its volume - they will be represented as a volume grid by this modifier.
As I said I don't think it's somehow usable, so I will likely remove it in later versions...

could be usable to create something like clouds without simulating.. spheres plus noise and one would have a cloud. Tried it but could not get it to render.. might have ben to low poly.

Edit:
tried it on high poly mesh still nothing.. shows up with the standart material in the render. oh well.

where can i find this octane fog volume object like this one ? : https://youtu.be/Y-tIAm2OVa8?t=97

in the Octane Daylight. Its called "Medium". Put a Volume medium in it and play with the settings. there is no manual as far as i know.. but thats what i did

thank you ThaRaven , i know how to use it now, but look at the video, it's an object with a voxel attributes, edge feather, textures etc... it's a really powerfull feature i dont find in 3dsmax Plugin.

guess cinema4d is a bit more advanced in that regard. sadly..
