What does Volume Splice SOP do?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am trying to understand what Volume Splice SOP does, but I don't see any difference when it's applied. I read the help card, and assumed it collapses several volumes into one but it doesn't seem to do that.

I also searched the forums but couldn't find anything.

Can someone please tell me what it does exactly?

Thanks :)

My reading of it (haven't tried) is that the purpose of the SOP is to merge several non-overlapping volumes into a single one.

It mentions distributed simulation. In those cases, you take a large volume, cut it into multiple pieces, and have a separate machine simulate on each piece. Once you've simulated all the separate volumes, you need a way to combine them back together into the original large volume. I think the Volume Splice is what's used to combine them back together.
