Am I missing something? In the Basic Smoke material, I don't see any slider for transparency or opacity. Any clue?

Attached is a pic of my current render, I want this smoke to be more transparent.

Thanks

You could render it out and fade it back in a composite, or adjust your density. Density is essentially transparency for a volume, right?

Try using a VolumeWrangle at the end of your network and type.
if you link the value to a slider you could animate the value up and down.

Thanks for your help.

I didn't need the VolumeWrangle because I already had a DOP Network in my scene. So what I did is this:
DOP Network > Node Volume source > tab "volume" > operation 1 > Source volume = density, Target field = density, Scale = put here a value that will multiply the density, such as 0.25.

The Density solution is not perfect because it doesn't just increase the transparency of the smoke, it also alters its shape. I'd like the shape to remain exactly the same while becoming half visible. Check attached pics.
So the best solution might be the compositing one.

Yes, don't alter the density in your sim. This affects threshold lookups and your sim will look different. In general, the values going into pyro should be normailized 0-1.

Either do what Enviob suggested, or adjust the density in your shader, or use a Volume mix SOP which gives you a ramp to remap the denisty field.

Hello mr CatFish, thanks for the tips!

After some more test back in the basicsmoke shader , I found out that the "density Scale" slider does what I was looking for!

By the way, how can I check the density value in my volume nodes? For example when I select a volumevop then go to the Geometry Spreadsheet, the "points" mode shows nothing, and the "primitive" mode only shows "0 density".

A good way to get an idea of the values in a region is to use volume slice.
