uVolume

Overview

What uVolume does

uVolume brings file-based volumetric fields into the USD stage for smoke, fog, fire-like emission and other density-based effects. It combines sequence timing with shading and raymarch controls, so both data interpretation and render cost must be managed carefully.

When to use it

USD smoke and fog volumes
Volumetric atmosphere
Emissive fire-like fields
Looped volume sequences
Technical density visualization
