Creation Tools
Create Light Volume (Cube)
Use this button when you want a fast, stylized light volume with no selection setup before creation.
What the button does
This button creates a mesh cube, moves it into the Volume Forge collection, assigns a dedicated Volume Forge material, and configures it in Light Volume mode.
How to use it
No face or object selection is required. Place the 3D Cursor where you want the initial volume to appear, then click the button. After creation you can move, rotate, and scale the object freely.
When it makes sense
- Quick beam or atmospheric tests.
- Early look development.
- Stylized shafts that do not need to be built between two real surfaces.
- Shots where speed and flexibility matter more than geometric anchoring.
What becomes editable afterwards
Cube-created objects expose the full Fade Direction control in the panel, because their internal fade direction is not locked by geometry. They also expose all current sections of the addon: Selected Volume, Mask & Falloff, Look, Noise, Volume Shape, and Advanced Mask.
