Scatter Volume material doesn't work

[Muhammed_Hamed]

I tried to apply to my geometry, but it just doesn't have any effect
I'm using the CPU engine

[Muhammed_Hamed]

It is working now, sorry
was using wrong scale for radius, always forget that Houdini uses Meters compared to other packages

[bdancer]

Yeh, may be we need better defaults there - feel free to recommend some!

[Muhammed_Hamed]

I think the defaults are ok for scatter Volume material, I have been playing with it in the past few days and love it so far
My recommendation is to type CM next to radius.. because everything else uses meters in VFH
This is what got my confused essentially, default value of 1 is 1CM
I thought it was using 1 meter until I figured it out after lunch xD

Quote from the documentation

Note that this value is specified always in centimeters (cm); the material automatically converts it into scene units based on the currently selected system units.

Best,

So the parameter would be called something like Radius (in cm)
