Sphere Fade Volume

[shadevfx]

Hello Chaos Group. I was hoping to use the sphereFade as a way to volumetrically boolean a sphere out of an object. However, anything behind the sphere fade seems to disappear as well. Is there anyway to use it so that it only removes the portion of the object(s) contained in the sphere and still reveal any image information behind it?

thanks,
Bryan

Why don't you use the VRayDistanceTex for this use case?

Probably you'll need a nightly build though...

[shadevfx]

Hmm yeah dont have that in the build we have installed. I'm guessing it does what it sounds like it does, but what do you connect it to, opacity?

I'm attaching an example scene and the rendered result.

Thats fantastic, thank you! We keep getting a Warning :default UVW generator exported. Is there a way to stop that, It seems to make the scene a little laggy.

thanks again
Bryan

Hello shadevfx

Could you please give us more information about that warning.
A sample scene would be very helpful.
Thank you very much in advance.
