Rego Nimbus - Realistic VDB Cloud Generator

TastyVoxels in Rendering


Fixed

  • Live Cloud now renders with its own cloud material. Before, the volume made by the Geometry Nodes modifier had no material assigned and rendered with Blender's default grey volume, so Live detail, Live noise scale and Peak density had no visible effect.
  • Live Cloud resolution: the final render now uses the voxel count you set. Before, the viewport built the grid at the requested count but the render fell back to a much coarser default, and the cloud came out in large blocks.
  • Peak density now reaches Live Clouds, and their density follows the size of the object the same way a baked cloud does, so a small and a large object both read as a cloud.
  • Morph: the surface no longer shows steps, terraces or contour rings. The cause was the automatic density: a freshly baked morph was measured before Blender had worked out its size, so its density came out millions of times too high and every faint ripple of the field showed as a step. The density is now measured correctly.
  • Morph: shapes are built from the exact distance to your mesh instead of a voxel mask, so thin parts such as ears, fingers and wing tips keep their shape and stay attached.
  • Live Cloud: no more square haze around the cloud, and the shader detail no longer punches speckled holes through thin parts.
  • Morph and 360 sky: rebuilding with different settings in the same session could bring back the previous result, because the cache files had fixed names. The file names now carry the settings that change the result.
