ScatterVL Pro
A free volumetric light shader for 3ds Max with precise control over atmospheric light effects.
Volumetric light
ScatterVL Pro is a freeware volumetric light shader plug-in for 3ds Max, giving users precise control over atmospheric light effects without altering the actual light settings. It allows customization of volumetric light properties like density, color and spread, and supports custom projector maps for unique effects.
Seamlessly blending with FumeFX in the Scanline renderer, ScatterVL Pro enhances lighting realism in complex scenes. The volumetric light effect can also be rendered with Chaos V-Ray CPU.
“ScatterVL Pro is still the best plugin for volume light effects. It’s the only plugin to make such light effects with great control and render speed.”
