I've implemented some fancy new techniques that are helping to speed up volumetric rendering (for non-uniform densities). This particular cloud is actually using voxel data (200x200x200 grid).
Hello Ono,

I've been searching like hell in the blogs to find out how you did that cloud. I'm trying to create a small cloud sitting on the floor (don't ask, it's for a network diagram) and I couldn't find any material nor any information on the scene setup (object, etc.). Is it possilbe to reproduce through Blender?

Have you ever been able to document that scene/material?
Hi fbrunell,
You won't be able to replicate the cloud render yet because the code is not released. It requires voxel support and some other stuff.

I'm gonna spend a few days on this stuff and try and get it into trunk so it can be released in a beta.

Here are a couple of tests of the new participating media code.

The sphere density model is fully procedural - it uses 'turblence', e.g. perturbing the input coordinates to a sphere equation with a FBM function.

Shader looks like this (for both scattering and absorption coeffs):

Code: Select all

def f(vec3 p) real : 
  if(dist(p, vec3(0, 1.0, 1.5)) < 0.5, 50.0, 0.0)
              
def eval(vec3 pos) vec3 :
  vec3(
    f(pos + fbm3Valued(pos * 10.0, 8) * 0.1)
  )

Another test.
Smaller perturbation, smaller light source.

New participating media code ? What is being reformed ?

One novelty I'm spotting if I'm not mistaken is that you are adding vectors out of the box, that's convenient !

This is looking awesome! What kind of volume formats are you looking at supporting?

Hi Tom,
I haven't thought about it since the last message on the topic in this thread :)

Whoops, didn't notice it's the same old thread ;) it's been a while.

Close to it, but you need to try harder :D

Nice. Now Borrow lyciums earth (http://www.indigorenderer.com/images/at ... simulation) and make me a wallpaper. :D

You could do some wicked mist or atmospheric effects with the FBM volume stuff. When can we have a play?

Am working on it, can't say how long it will take exactly :)

It's the same simulation - Indigo :)

What I'm going for here is efficient rendering of clouds with the atmosphere model, which is quite tricky.
