Hi Guys,


I feel like I have done this a million times, but just can never remember the setup.

I want to use an animated volume as my source object for a smoke sim, and can't remember the best way to bring it in.

Here's my setup so far… Any tips on what is missing?!


thanks!

maybe I don't get what You want but what about the shelf tool emit from volume. it adds a “sourceApplyDop” set to volume sample as mode and just sources the smoke from Your volume

That sourceApply DOP is pretty sweet too!
