Clouds/VDB generator like Elementacular

Hi Are any plans to also have phoenix to generate clouds etc from meshes like in this video and not be bound by the grid so you can have hundreds of clouds scattered and not have a mile long grid box and can be rendered by different renderers thank you

Phoenix FD relies on the grid, for this case though we will implement instancing so you will be able to scatter a lot of instances of the cache and get a bed of clouds like result.

@ Georgi

So you mean the result of a sim from a smaller grid scattered within a lager grid?

[georgi.zhekov]

I mean that you can simulate a grid and scatter instances of it using particle systems. This is still yet to be implemented though.

Great news on the instancing I currently duplicate grids as Copy as they used to crash when using instance, unless that is fixed now? Was a long time ago since I tried it.

Will it also be open for implementation in scatter plugins like Forest Pack?

+1 this would be cool

Yup, this is high priority, I hope we'll be able to have that quite soon.

Cheers guys!
