Please Note: This is a re-submission of #40121 which was marked incomplete because of an error with the .blend file upload. My apologies if re-submitting is the incorrect action to take.

System Information

Windows 7 / Gigabyte GTX 560ti

Blender Version
Broken: 2.70a / f93bc76 (file: Fogbank Animation 3)

Short description of error

Smoke not masking objects in "Fog Bank Animation .blend". Objects (monkey and text) are physically behind smoke but they appear to be in front of smoke in renders. I have spent over a week comparing all settings against the attached "Smoke collision test blend" and still cannot figure out why the smoke is not masking objects. I posted on B.A. and have not gotten any replies

The .blend files are too to attach here so I have included a link to them on dropbox. The file is large because there is a second scene and I want to make sure it is not part of the problem)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Go to scene 4 (AC/DC) and render frame 23 (or any frame after frame 3)

Links to files:

"Fog Bank Animation" (Problem file with no "masking")
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9unn8lkd99yh83e/Fog%20Bank%20Animation%203.1%20%28working%29.blend

"Smoke collision test" (example file of similar characteristics with "masking" )

Thank you for your time.

No need to re-submit bugs, it doesn't really make it fixed more instant.

sergey told me to have a look at the file. it seems to me that this is not a bug. the issue seems to be solved when you increase the overall Volume Density of the material. So in the Domain material, set Density Scale to something like 80...

Thank you ! ! ! I changed the density setting you recommended and it is working just fine. I thought I tried that before but I guess I missed it or didn't turn it up enough.

Thank all of you for your time and help
