Hi all
Have recently posted a thread on CGTalk about instancing (like HD-Instance) in C4D and have been told that all the answers are here!
I've been looking at the VolumeData struct to see how to render lots of instances, but really need some more info/help. Can anyone advise, please?
Cheers

Per (mdme_sadie) already told you everything you need. You need to create a volume shader (materialData) on an environement object to trace the rays.

Ok. Cool. I did look at the SDK docs at the MaterialData plugin and have sussed most of it out. Just wondered if there were any sample volume plugins out there for C4D?

yes, in the SDK is a volume plugin example (particleVolume.cpp).
Good luck.

Hi again
Just trawled thru all the SDK docs, seen the examples that come with C4D and kind of understand what to do, but not sure how to use the 'VOLUMESHADER' material (MaterialData in later versions) to render geometry.
Probably being stooopid, but am I suppose to use the VolumeData struct to obtain ray info and then raytrace the scene myself, or am I making this way to complicated? Sorry!
