Rendering Smoke
To give the domain a volumetric material, set the material type to Volume, as shown in
Figure 7-74
.
If you
render now, you'll see something like the cube shown in
Figure 7-75
. I set up a simple textured floor plane (set
to receive transparent shadows) and lightened the background sky color. You can see that the volumetric mater-
ial gives the cube a smoky appearance. However, you still don't see the actual simulation.
