Hello everyone,
i got a question. What does input bias mean?
although i manage to get an explanation from maya help, it says:
Opacity Input Bias adjusts the sensitivity of the selected Opacity Input used.
Input values of 0 and 1 always map to the start and end of the opacity curve, although the bias determines where in the curve a value of 0.5 maps. For example if you used Density as an input, and you want the fluid to become opaque at a Density of 0.001, then the Density bias can be used to shift most of the curve into this Density range. Instead of cramming several values at the beginning of the ramp you can use the full range. If the Input Bias is 0.0 then a value of 0.5 maps to the exact middle of the Opacity curve.
But i still cannot understand. Can anyone explain it clearer for me? It would be better if you can explain with some graphics. Thanks alot and happy new year!
