Cloudy Meadow with athmospheric scattering

Heterogeneous media and atmospheric scattering

Yet more volumetrics

Another test. The clouds are made by the same OpenVDB heterogeneous grid instanced multiple times at different scales and rotations. The air is an homogeneous medium with atmospheric scattering. The trees and grass are instances as well.


Heterogeneous media and OpenVDB in real-time

Another test with Heterogeneous media

Real-time Heterogeneous Media

First test at heterogeneus media

Heterogeneous media using Dreamworks’ OpenVDB.
