Hi!

Can't reproduce the look of Houdini Volumes with Maxwell. Besides a crop of the camera fov the rendering is completely different to the Mantra Version. All the details of the Volume are gone, and something is wrong with the density. Same Camera and Area Light.

Is it an OpenVDB file or a custom voxel field? Could you please send me the scene to check?

[calix]

It's a VDB file converted to a Voxel Field in Houdini to render it in Maxwell. Sure I can upload the scene later.

You can grab the scene here.

Sorry for the delay. I uploaded a new beta build which should fix the problem with the bounding box in your scene.

Thanks Peter!

Maxwell-Cam matches the Mantra-Cam now. Will there be a fix for the volume detail too?

Hi Calix,

I uploaded a new build (3.1.1.0) to the beta area, will released soon.

The problem is the Max Density value. It's range is strict 0-1 on the UI and cuts the density, so it looses detail. In the new build you can set higher values, you can try for example 10 or 100 and the volume should render properly.

Cheers,
Peter
