Camera exterior volume

[B.Y.O.B.]

Hi,

it seems like the camera has no exterior volume property in LuxCore.
This leads to wrong renders if the camera is e.g. inside of a cube with a volume.
Can this feature be added?

Are you looking for world volume (scene.world.volume.default):

Code: Select all

scene.volumes.vol_air.type = homogeneous
scene.volumes.vol_air.absorption = 0.0 0.0 0.0
scene.volumes.vol_air.scattering = 0.04 0.04 0.04
scene.volumes.vol_air.asymmetry = 0.0 0.0 0.0
scene.volumes.vol_air.multiscattering = 0
##
scene.world.volume.default = vol_air

I guess I am looking for that
Thanks.

edit: However, that would set this volume as default for all materials and lights, right?
What if I only want the camera to be in a volume, but not e.g. the sun?
I would have expected a "scene.camera.volume" setting.

The default volume is used when the object lack of volume definitions. Just use an object with null material and an interior volume and place the camera inside the object.

I am on a tablet at the moment, looking at your scene, have you assigned the monkey outside volume ?

This was the problem, thanks, it works like expected now.
