yes, Polymesh to Volume + Volume Displacement that's the technique I used.

Maybe you can apply a brighter shadow color on the watch
Glass to remove the noise inside.

I did not notice that. thank you for the suggestion.

Technique was developed/pionired by Lee Griggs few years before it hyped & was popularized.

I think that's a different technique called Xgen topology. What I used is volumetric displacement.

Thank you joyasrohrbach .

A few wireframe screenshots.

TAO, can you maybe post a link to the Arnold documentation where this feature is described? This video is the best one available that you can see the behaviour. I made a video tutorial of how you can do such things and I will update that too because the tutorials and documentation are just simple t...

Here is another render, it's more polished. Also, I'm working on different angles and more close-up renders with a little bit of details, so more will come soon.

For the VDB object that's going to work but what about the mesh object, at volume applied to it. It is a mesh object that used as a volume with a complex shader on top of it, it possible to add the shader to VDB too. Here is another example that I'm working on.

Soon means I have yet to write it (but I will)

sorry I did not see that part.

It looks more like a VDB object/file to me (note: we support OpenVDB), as end result of some kind of simulation. As for the material, a NULL material with a homogeneous volume with scattering should do the job. For the VDB object that's going to work but what about the mesh object, at volume applie...
