volume

This node represents a volumetric object defined by OpenVDB data. It has the following attributes:

NameTypeDefault
vdbfilenamestring

The path to an OpenVDB file with the volumetric data.

NameTypeDefault
densitygridstring

The name of the OpenVDB grid to use as volume density for the volume shader.

NameTypeDefault
colorgridstring

The name of the OpenVDB grid to use as a scattering color multiplier for the volume shader.

NameTypeDefault
emissiongridstring

The name of the OpenVDB grid to use directly as emission for the volume shader.

NameTypeDefault
emissionintensitygridstring

The name of the OpenVDB grid to use as emission intensity for the volume shader.

NameTypeDefault
temperaturegridstring

The name of the OpenVDB grid to use as temperature for the volume shader.

NameTypeDefault
velocitygridstring

The name of the OpenVDB grid to use as motion vectors. This can also name the first of three scalar grids (ie. “velocityX”).

NameTypeDefault
velocityreferencetimedouble

The reference time at which the grid data is used directly, without being moved by the velocity grid. Defaults to the global node’s referencetime attribute.

NameTypeDefault
velocityscaledouble1

A scaling factor applied to the motion vectors.
