Hi,

How can i make the smoke dissipate only inside a specified bounding volume. Like for fumefx we have effectors where we can give a certain condition inside a bounding volume to affect the turbulence/dissipation.

Thanks.

Here's one way, I bet someone will find a cleaner method.

This takes advantage of the new nicer source volume dops in H17, so I create a volume to use as density, and a volume called ‘turbcontrol’ to use as a turbulence mask.

In dops I source both in, and set the control field of the gasturbulence to point to ‘turbcontrol’, and set its influence to 1.

To be clear you can do this in 16.5 too, just a little tidier to setup in 17.
