Single/multiple scattering on a per-volume basis?

[J the Ninja]

At the moment, Lux is switched between single and multiple scattering with the volume integrator, which is per-scene. Would it be possible to allow this to be set per-volume? The real world obviously contains a mix of both light and heavily scattering volumes (like, say, dusty air and people), it seems rather limiting to have to set this per-scene.

i was wondering about this myself - iv seen photon map integrators that were plugins for pbrt that were unified (emmission, single, and multiple) so it should just be a matter of making the pieces...

Hi,

You could indeed create a custom volume integrator that would check a new volume property and adjust the algorithm accordingly. Remember that we're just scratching the surface of what is possible with the infrastructure.
