What’s the difference between Density and Resolution? (by lc8b105)
Suppose that a Voxel object is combined with 10000 small voxel units.
1. Change Density will simply change the object’s scale in the current space(please note each space/volume has its density). It will not change the number of its voxel unit.
For example, decreasing Density twice will result in: Object size will twice as big as the initial, but the number of its voxel unit will not be changed, still keeping 10000.
2. Change Resolution will change the actual number of its voxel unit. For example, a degraded resolution twice will result in: The number of its voxel unit will become less, maybe only 5000 left or even less.
How can I change the Density and Resolution in Voxel?
1. Change Density is quite easy. Just right-click on the corresponding “Volume” in Sculpt Tree panel, then choose “Decrease object 2X (increase density)” or “Increase object 2X (decrease density)”.
2. You can increase the Resolution of the voxel object by clicking the “Inc. res” button in the left tool panel.
Right-click on “Volume”, and there is a command named “Clone and degrade”, it acts just like a decreased resolution but will create a new object(Volume) instead.
In short, Density in Voxel is like Scale in the polygon world. Resolution in Voxel is just like Subdivision in Polygon world. Not exactly, just a comparison.
Below is an example shown as a picture:
1. The first picture shows decreased resolution.
