Title: Global volume max distance
Post by: Fluss on 2018-03-14, 10:31:50

Hey guys,

I'm working on a very large scale scene and I'm using global volume material. It seems to stop before the boundary of my scene (see attached image).

So I assume there is a max distance set somewhere. Is there a way to increase that value?

Yes, it's in the advanced/developer tab, it's set to 10000 units by default I think.

The "max distance" of the volume material is basically it's absorption distance. It controls how far light can travel inside the volume.
What you may be interested in as well is the "enviro distance" setting in devel/experimental settings - https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000021288
It controls "how far" the environment is rendered (e.g. the hdri background).
