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».
Properties
This node has no properties.
Outputs
- Volume
Standard shader output.
