Good day,
When dealing with cameras that enter a closed water tank.. ie. camera breaking the water line and we see the top and bottom of the surface as well as the inner tank.
The standard surface shader doesn't calculate the scattering within the water tank it seems but I've seen mentioned that one could use a volume shader instead but...as far as I’m aware—reading up in the docs and some quick testing:
“Arnold can use a shape container for volume
rendering points, sphere and box primitives. Support for meshes is
planned for a future release.”
In the case of a moving water mesh (ie. Ocean alembic from Houdini) where we
wouldn’t be able to use a box primitive (unless really cheated), what would be
the most elegant way to handle that?
aiFog, cheating with a volume primitive or just depth fog in comp?
All the best,
Andrew Wilkins
