Arnold OSL Shaders

>>571253
What's so hard, download the shader from O'neil's Accurate Atmospheric Scattering and translate it to arnold.

>>571272
because his implimentation doesn't use multiple scattering and he left out the phase function

>>571274
i should note that its because most of these resources are built to run in real time, which is not a concern.


also osl shaders aren't arnold specific

What kind of money are you offering for me to make it?

>>571277
not asking for that

If you want to simply have a "dome-light texture" that follows the details of this paper, it is possible in OSL.

If you want an actual volume shader that scatters light and casts volumetric shadows within it, you need to write a volume shader in C++, which is a herculean task.

Here is an example shader written in C++ for the alSurface:

OSL can do volumes though

>>571589
i def wouldn't describe 350 lines of c++ as a herculean task, but i see your point. even though im not sure where the limitation in osl you're describing is, its not that big of a deal since everything in osl is part of a library with a c++ api anyway
