Volume

A node of the Scene graph.

Smoke, fire or a liquid (Volumes): one for each object of the node that reaches the Output, placed by it.

Takes: objects (objects), name (text), shape (text), seed (number), at.0 (number), at.1 (number), at.2 (number), size.0 (number), size.1 (number), size.2 (number), rotation.0 (number), rotation.1 (number), rotation.2 (number), colour (text), hot (text), threshold (number), softness (number), self_shadow (number), glow_over (number), voxels (number), steps (number) · Gives: objects

Every setting is also an input: wire a value into it to change it per copy. On the command line: pxr graph set game.pixor --which scene --node volume --set KEY=VALUE.

What it wires to

Its objects input takes objects, which these give: Attribute, Bevel, Chunks, Clouds, Difference, Displace, Drop to ground, Effect, Foliage, Grid, Height field, Import, and 32 more.

What it gives, objects, goes into: Attribute, Bevel, Chunks, Clouds, Difference, Displace, Drop to ground, Effect, Foliage, Grid, Height field, Item, and 30 more.

In the app, drag a wire from one of its dots: every dot the wire fits is ringed.

How it fits with the rest: the Scene graph in the manual.
