Basically what the subject line states.

In the live view you can't see it, but when rendering a scene with the new smoke. The smoke bands a lot.

Attached an image with the issue exactly.

Render (4K)

It's not very noticeable with these images previews, but when looking at the raw render from Capture it's very obvious.

Steps to reproduce.

1. Add some washes to your design.
2. Add the new smoke into your scene
3. Use these smoke settings (Density = 10%, Variation = 75%, Edge softness = 65%)
4. Render a still or press CTRL+I inside the live view. (PNG)
5. Look at the resulting image.

Using latest Capture 2026 download.
