  Rolling mist - NOT (Message 1 to 9 of 9)

Anyone had any success in getting rolling mist with media? I've been
experimenting for days and this is the best I can get.

Advice, tips, suggestions please???

Thanks very much
Gail

-- code follows

plane {y,-0.5 pigment {rgb <0,0,0.5>}}

box {<-20,0.001,-10>,<35,1,25>
 material {
  texture {pigment {Clear} finish {ambient 0 diffuse 0}}
  interior {
   media {
    emission 0.5
    scattering {2, rgb 0.7 extinction 0.5}
    density {
     gradient z
     color_map {
      [0.0 rgb 1]
      [0.3 rgb 0.1]
      [1.0 rgb 0]
     }
     scale <1,1,35> //55
     translate z*-10
    }
    density {
     function {y-f_noise3d(x*2,y,z*2)*0.5+0.3}  // +0.4
     color_map {
      [0.0 rgb 1]
      [0.4 rgb 0.5]
      [0.8 rgb 0.5]
      [1.0 rgb 0]
     }
    }
   }
  }
 }
 hollow
 scale <1,0.4,1>
 translate y*-0.5
}

Try planar instead of gradient z - sometimes works!

I'm wondering why you're basing your function off of the height, when you've
already got a gradient y pattern density. Why don't you just use f_noise3d
without the "y - "?

Also, try adding some turbulence. You may also try changing your second
color_map to something more like

color_map {
      [0.0 rgb 1]
      [0.5 rgb 0.5]
      [0.7 rgb 0]
}

which would create some areas that wouldn't be cloudy.

I don't have a gradient y. I've got a gradient z to stop the backgroud
getting too bright

The gradient z is just to keep the background from getting too bright. It
has no effect on the
foreground mist

This is what it looks like if I take the gradient z out

Maybe it is caused by extinction 0.5 ?

Hi there Gail.

I tried something with it by using repeat warps and turbulence and-- well, I
ended up changing it to the point where I think it best to paste it into the
message here so you can see what I see when rendering it. It's somewhat like
a rolling fog bank or cloud.
Just got a little slow to render, though, because it needed samples added to
smooth it out. In fact, it might be too choppy-looking to be useful unless
something is changed.
Hmm, like sine_wave for the second density, which I just now commented into
this. Yeah, that doesn't look too bad, to me anyway. Still having trouble
with a overly one direction wave appearance I wanted to control but I'll
stop there.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Media is still somewhat trial and error for me (mostly error *grin*)
