Search TipsFieldShapeToDensity
The FieldShapeToDensity node converts a signed distance field to a density field with optional feathering. Signed distance fields are hard-edged. Converting them to density allows the edges to be feathered or the density to be modified inside the shape.

| Draw Bounding Box | preview_bounds | Unchanged |
Draw the bounding box of the field if it has one. Select between On, Off, and Unchanged. Unchanged means that this option is inherited from nodes above it in the node graph. By inheriting On or Off from above, this means this setting only needs to be edited in one node to affect the display across all Field nodes in the node graph. |
| Draw Preview | preview_on | Unchanged |
Draw a rough preview of the field. Select between On, Off, and Unchanged. Unchanged means that this option is inherited from nodes above it in the node graph. By inheriting On or Off from above, this means this setting only needs to be edited in one node to affect the display across all Field nodes in the node graph. |
| Opacity | preview_opacity | 1 | The opacity at which to draw the preview. |
| Scale | preview_scale | 1 | A value by which the field is multiplied before drawing. You may need to increase this to display faint volumes for example. |
| Offset | preview_offset | 0 | A value added to the field before drawing (after scaling). |
| Detail | preview_detail | 1 | The detail level at which the preview is drawn. Large values are more accurate but slower to draw. |
