This page provides information on the Volumetric Grid Atmosphere settings.


Overview

The VRayVolumeGrid Atmosphere settings rollout is available in the Environment and Effects window after a VRayVolumeGrid object is created. The Environment and Effects window can be accessed by selecting Rendering Menu > Environment, or by pressing the shortcut key 8.

To display the rollout, access the Environment tab in the window, and in the Atmosphere rollout click VRayVolumeGrid to select it. The VRayVolumeGrid Atmosphere settings rollout then appears at the bottom of the window.

Since V-Ray 6 for 3ds, Max VRayVolumeGrid parameters are available in the Global switches rollout: Render Setup > V-Ray tab > Global switches rollout (Advanced).

Parameters

Gamma Correction – Applies gamma correction to the volume effect. This option only has an effect if Mode in the Rendering rollout on the Modify panel is set to Volumetric, Volumetric Geometry, or Volumetric Heat Haze.

Note: This value should only be changed if needed for specific obsolete linear workflows. In newer versions of 3ds Max, this value should be left at the default value of 1.0 for correct results.
