Thanks for the video ♥♥

[@Unreality42]

great stuff thank you. Only problem is.... mantra material node no longer exists so what do we use instead as nodes?

[@johnnyjolon8294]

How would you go about adding color to this within mantra?

I'm trying to render it with octane and I don't get it. How can I do so that octane recognizes me the volume well?
Thanks u for your work.
As always, a brutal video.

[@eclairesrhapsodos5496]

Is that possible to export that as VDB?

[@scaprendering]

Really intresting, thanks for sharing.What about the render time ?

[@scaprendering]

Such a dumb comment 2y later

[@BigBadroid]

Love your tutorials as always, man. I've been trying to follow this tutorial step by step and after writing the code exactly as you did, all I get is one straight line across my grid, not sure why this is happening. Any ideas?

[@LinieEber]

Change the Grid "Orientation", had the same dumb problem and took me a while to figure out.

[@vincentthomas8492]
