Q: Fluid Density

#1

Hi,

under content detail - density scale, does this value actually add and substract density or is it just a display thing? I ask because I have been exporting fluid to be rendered in some other package using custom format…

Thanks

It does :>.
“Multiplies the Density values in the fluid container (whether they are defined in grids, or defined by preset gradients) by the scale value. Using a Density Scale of less than 1 makes the Density appear more transparent. Using a Density Scale greater than 1 makes the Density appear more opaque.” -> from maya help file ^^.

Yes it does indeed. Thanks

The density scale multiplies the raw grid values when they are accessed internally BEFORE they get texturing, inputBias and ramp lookup( for example for opacity ).
