The extension can load grids where the data is stored either as: scalars (floats or doubles) and vectors (vec2 and vec3). Simulation data such as temperatures are usually stored as floats while velocity or acceleration are stored as vectors.

The actual detail of the volumetric OpenVDB grid does not depend on any parameter in Maxwell, it is "built in" to the grid, depending on how finely the grid cells where set during the simulation in your 3D application.

Parameters

  • Base Grid: set the name of the base grid inside the VDB file that defines the volumetric domain. Usually this field is called "density". If no name is supplied here, Maxwell uses the first grid present in the file.
  • Base Grid multiplier: controls the density of the base grid. Higher values will make the volumetric appear more dense, letting less light through it.
