Hi,

I'm trying to merge some extruded text with a heightfield. I can create a VDB from the heightfield and a VDB from the text, but don't want the harsh transition of the text just intersecting with the terrain.

I'm trying to figure out a workflow how I can have a 'build up' of sand/whatever around the base of the text so it's not just a harsh angle where they intersect.

I was also thinking if there was a way to convert the extruded text into a heightfield and then use some of those tools to help, that would be cool.

Ideas/thoughts?

Thanks,

Jim

I've attached a .hip file which explains what I am attempting to do. I have 6 different 'scatter' areas feeding different advection volumes for particle movement, so I don't really want to keyframe these as it will be a mess trying to art direct it when I have a value from 0-1 already from the position in the volume.

Thanks!

Jim

Not sure if this is what you are after.
Did you try this group?

Hope this helps you out, if not, can you be more specific.
