How can we add standard volume to 3dsmax fluid. It renders black what ever parameter I use in the shader or in the foam render settings (a spoint, sphere, ...changing the size or what ever).
Does standard volume work with fluids or not?
thanks
No, it doesn't. Volume shaders in Arnold require volumetric data files, such as OpenVDB.
on that link they use standard volume to render fluids with arnold points :

It has been done with 3dsmax 2018.3
We have 2018.4 and it cannot render the arnold points fluids with standard volume applied on it...
Any suggestions?
thanks
so you set the step size to a non-zero value and it didn't work?
yes exactly. I cannot have any volume shader rendered with fluids. I did not test it with 3dsmax 2019, only 2018 with the update 4.
i found the same problem in max2022, but if I use GPU ,it render correctly
It is still not rendering fluids foam with standard volume . tested on 3ds Max 2023.2.2 . Please help
