How to incorporate noise into a Fog Volume on a spline?

[Mark]

Hi Dr Sassi,

We would like to get fog to swirl. We have tried using a spline with Volume Builder but can not seem to incorporate a noise to give it organic randomness.

Here is a link to the project, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WKM7pz9hFsHSPOXrWQ1s-vms8iqUhkz8/view?usp=share_link

Please advise.

Thank you

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the file and for using Google.

The needed setting is in the image, for the Shader Field. Otherwise, you only have a small "box".

Let me know if that works for you.

Enjoy your weekend

Thank you, Dr Sassi!

Wondering if there is a way to have the fog extend outside the bounds of the spline so we don't see the hard edge of the shape?

Thank you!

Do you know how long I have been searching for fog and cloud tutorials! I have been looking for info on this for probably 2 years, this is the best tutorial I have seen and never came up in my searches.
They need to add Fog and Cloud to the tutorial name or at least the keywords!

You saved the day once again!

Thank you very much, Mark.

Yes, this is a good idea to tag this in a better way.

My best wishes
