Quote - > *Quote - Tom, You can create an infinite plane, or an infinite slab. For the volumetrics, you need slabs. To create a slab, simply hold the mouse button for a second over the water or ground or cloud primitive on the create shelf. you will see options for surface or volume. Hope this helps.
Thank you... I did try that but the slab was not behaving like in the tutorial.. Also he must have been working with some volumetric cloud file... I can not find such a cloud in the contents...
There is some content that comes with Bryce7Pro from David Brinnen - and one is the scene file for this tutorial, it's called...
"Free content scene to go with video tutorial modifying volumetric cloud materials 1.br7"
When B7Pro installed, this file and some other scene files was put into MyDocuments/Daz3D - it's possible yours will be similarly placed - but a search will find it wherever it's gone. And you'll find the volumetric cloud slab in there with the material he used.
Also, if you hover your cursor over the cloud plane and hold down "Alt" before clicking on it - then you get a volumetric cloud slab and not a cloud plane. That's on a PC> (Sorry, I don't know the equivalent to a PC's "Alt" on a mac)
