Principled Volume.

The Principled Volume shader combines all volume shading components into a single easy to use node. Volumes like smoke and fire can be rendered with a single shader node, which includes scattering, absorption and blackbody emission.

Inputs¶

Color: Volume scattering color.
Color Attribute: Volume grid for coloring the volume. Use “color” for smoke simulations.
Density: Density of the volume.
Density Attribute: Volume grid to define the density, typically “density”.
Anisotropy: Backward or forward scattering direction.
Absorption Color: Volume shadow color tint.
Emission Strength: Amount of light to emit.
Emission Color: Emission color tint.
Blackbody Intensity: Blackbody emission for fire. Set to 1 for physically accurate intensity.
Blackbody Tint: Color tint for blackbody emission.
Temperature: Temperature in kelvin for blackbody emission, higher values emit more.
Temperature Attribute: Volume grid to define the temperature, typically “temperature”.

Outputs¶

Volume: Standard shader output.
