RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH must include $RFHTREE/18.0/openvdb in order to render volumes from SOPs in Solaris. See installation page for details on changes to set up in 23.0. |
Set SOP Path parameter on the SOP Import LOP.
Note RenderMan only supports
importing vdb volumes from SOPsimported OpenVDB (VDB) volume SOPs. You must export the VDB simulation prior to rendering.
Create volume material network inside the Material Library LOP using PxrVolume.
The network below is an example network for rendering a fireball using the density, temperature, and heat grids
Note Currently only float grids
...
can be rendered. Volume motion blur is not yet supported since RenderMan requires velocity to be a single vector grid rather than 3 float grids.
