formZ | Volumetric
Â
Using the Volumetric tool, fog, haze, and atmospheric perspective may be simulated within formZ. AÂ Volumetric object will appear as simple proxy in the modeling window, but will be fully rendered in Fire or Maxwell.
Volumetric Tool
To place a Volumetric object, select the Maxwell Volumetric tool at the bottom of the Tools palette. (If the Maxwell tools are missing, select Workspace > Reset Workspace from the main menu.)
Â
Tool Options
- Dynamic: After clicking to establish the origin for the Volumetric object, interactively scale it.
- Preset: Create Volumetric at specified dimensions.
The remaining parameters are described in the general Maxwell documentation: Maxwell Volumetric

Preferences
The display of Volumetric objects can be globally enabled or disabled during export (Maxwell Display Options > Scene Tab > Volumetric) and when previewing in Fire (In the Fire palette, click on the gear icon to edit preferences). When disabled, Volumetric objects will not be included in the scene.
