Merge Extruded Text with Heightfield June 3, 2025, 3:57 p.m.

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

Access point attribute inside a DOPNET March 1, 2023, 8:23 a.m.

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!
