This involved adding 2D images with transparency into the scene and manipulating them to appear like they were actually there.

In the past, effects like these were often added in post-processing. In simple terms, these effects become 3D objects contained within your scene. This can include things like clouds, smoke, fire, and more. Volumetric rendering covers a variety of effects made possible through the implementation of “volumetric” data, or in other words, data discretized on three-dimensional grids. Rather than creating the illusion of clouds or fog, these effects can now exist as volumes in your scenes. Most notably, Daz Studio 4.20 supports volumetric rendering in Iray, offering enhanced control over a variety of 3D effects.

The latest update for Daz Studio - Studio 4.20 - delivers a collection of features and improvements that are sure to add a new level of depth and detail to your renders.
