Hello,

I was trying the Maxwell volumetric tag to create a single cumulus cloud, but that's not possible or am I mistaken?
Is it beter to create such a cloud out of geometry and add a cloud material?
Advice is very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Marc

There are many ways of using the Volumetric tag, so please be more specific about your approach, and/or provide (send to jeremy at nextlimit dotcom) an example Cinema file.

Thanks for sending the file. In this case, you have put a Volumetric tag on a particle emitter, so for each particle generated by Cinema, Maxwell generates a density area in the volumetric. In order to create a cloud shape, you would either need to create a particle system in that general shape, and play with the Particles Field parameters, or put the tag on a null, and use an OpenVDB file. For more information on volumetrics in Maxwell, please see this page.

Hello Jeremy,

Thanks for your reply, I'm going to try to shape the particles and have a look at openVDB.

Kind regards

Marc
