I scoured this thread but didn't see any mention of a normal pass. More and more I'm getting requests for just a normals pass when I'm just simming smoke.
Currently we have to do the RGB light trick(a red, green, and blue light in the correct position). The thing I hate about this, is that it requires a separate render if they also want the standard render. Plus, it's extra time.
The thing is that I could use a PRT Fume Source, choose my fume grid, open up Magma, then plug in normals to the color channel and see Instant viewable normals.
