Hi all
Anyone know how to use the VolumeData struct provided when using the MaterialData plugin to render geometry rather than volumetrics?

What do you mean by "rendering geometry"? What kind of material are you trying to make?

Hi Mikael
Cheers for the reply. By "rendering geometry" I mean using the MaterialData struct to render meshes multiple times as a render-only effect.
I started another thread (http://www.plugincafe.com/forum/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=4&TopicID;=1756&SearchPagePosition;=1&search;=ray&searchMode;=allwords&searchIn;=Thread&forum;=0&searchSort;=dateDESC&ReturnPage;=Search)
which may clarify more what I'm trying to do.

Ok. Then yes, I guess that would be possible. There are many functions in VolumeData for sampling the scene, for example TraceGeometry(). It all comes down to calculating the color for the requested ray, regardless of if you're doing a volumetric effect or something else. How to do that is up to the plugin algorithm.
