    Hi all
    I am looking to convert a volume field generated in pyro fx to a surface.

    The problem I am having is that I end up with a lot of extra info due to number of fields involved. Does anyone know how to use VOPs to strip out only the density field and use that to generate a mesh? I have unsuccessfully tried iso-offset, iso-surface and volume convert

    I have included an example file so you can see what the hell I'm talking about

    cheers

    VOPS can only handle points and each field is a primitive.

    Create a delete SOP set to primitives and delete non selected.
    MMB click and look what prim number is density(It should be 0).
    type 0 in pattern.

    Pipe that into a volume convert and increase the iso value.


    Edit... There is a volume VOP for fields but I dont think it can delete volumes or generate a mesh.

    thank you mawi!
