Hypervoxel

Hypervoxel is a plug in that capable of adding the texture to the particle, thus allowing the particle to become visible. Apart from that, Hypervoxel can also effect other objects like null of any other polygon just to create a volumetric effect like liquid, flame, smoke, cloud etc.

The illustrationabove is hypervoxel with object type "surface". This will make the polygon of the particle become sort of the ball shape .

 As we change the setting to "Volume", although the scene from the interface is no different to "surface" but as we render through VIPER window, it did show the different .
VIPER WINDOW
Like rendering window, VIPER (Versatile Interactive Preview Rendering) window is the window that will make a quick rendering for the hypervoxel particle effect. The beauty thing about this VIPER window is that it is capable of render the hypervoxel scene within a shorten period of time, thus allowing the quick preview of the result. However, the scene from the VIPER will not be as good as actual rendering window.

The type of hypervoxel object that I used the most for my project is "sprite" because like "volume", sprite is capable of creating smoke or fire effect in less time rendering than volume while surface is only just creating metanurb like object.
"Sprite" the type of hypervoxel that I used the most.
VIPER result for sprite hypervoxel.

The interface of the hypervoxel plug in is separated into 3 sections, geometry, shading and hyper texture.

Geometry has a role in manipulating the size of the particle as well as creating the variation by using texture box or envelope to create the animated effect, while shading has a major role in creating luminosity, diffuse, spetacular etc something that close to Surface Editorbut also added along with opacity and density. Nevertheless, the setting for shading can be various depend on the type of hypervoxel object.

With the hyper texture, similar to the texture box of the Surface Editor as it provides the option of procedure map, graidient or even allowing for any image mape to create the texturing effect to the particle thus allowing for the interesting effect to the particle.
