I used to make tornado motion with pointcloud. I was helped so much from odforce. This time I hope to be helpful to have the opportunity. Hope you likt it. Ian Farnsworth,Igor Igor Zanic~

I couldn't help not use this file for testing the volume plug-in I'm working on.  
I won't cross threads but just wanted to say it's a good one for benchmarks.
Thanks.

Couldn't resist using that for a volume sim.

So interesting...both setups!
Bunker, I was checking your scene and the visualization coming from the DOP network is really cool even in OpenGL!!    So I tried to cache this somehow, but when I used an DOP I/O I realized I needed to multiply the density 10 times (I used a Volume Mix for this, not sure if there´s a faster way...this one works) to match your visualization parameters in the smoke dobject.

My question being....in order to render a scene like this, would you just cache that and throw in a volume shader? I´m bettin it can´t be that difficult to get it looking nice, considering how good it looks in Open GL already!  


EDIT: Yup. I just did it...well, with one small frame because my computer is too old to render volumes, but it does work....

EDIT2: ummm...bunker, why is it that as the point cloud lifts higher your volume clouds looses density? did you check it? it doesn´t look right to me. The original point cloud does loose a bit of point density, but not as much. Looks to me like there´s some volume-related problem there...
