VrayVolumeGrid and Environment fog

[FIRELION]

Volumetrics look like they're one of the main components of the cpu renderer that aren't yet supported on the gpu. I'm guessing volumetrics are a special case and there are some challenges getting it on the gpu, but it doesn't seem impossible give that a few other gpu renders are able to handle OpenVDB.

Is this something that is in progress and on the horizon? Any major hurdles preventing volume support from working in RT?

I have heard of some work being done to support Vray Environment Fog in RT/GPU. Perhaps it might happen soon.

But in the meantime, have you tried the Environment/Atmosphere Effect VrayAerialPerspective?

Cool, I didn't realize VrayAerialPerspective was supported in RT (it's listed as not supported for the gpu here https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...orted+Features and I didn't see it mentioned in the recent nightlies release notes). It seems pretty quick and I'll definitely use that where I can, still hoping for the (volumetric) holy grail of OpenVDB support.

Hey guys, just bumping the thread. Love to see RT GPU working with volume grids and enviro fog. Any progress/plans on these features?

thank you!
