Re: OpenVDB to Softimage

I move it over to Read instead of Write so it isn't trying to overwrite what it's put down? If you are rendering with redshift you dont need to, but just hide the holder to it is not being actualized , you can also change it to read but anyway you need to hide that object to not render that with re...

Re: OpenVDB to Softimage

I am on a laptop testing OpenVDB_to_Softimage_v0.8 using windows 10. I read v 0.8 was for win 7. At the moment I'm testing this in SI2014 SP2. Where can I get OpenVDB_to_Softimage_v1? The error I am getting happens at ICE node levels. the FILE GRID IO is empty. Not showing any parameters for the pa...

Re: OpenVDB to Softimage

To render a sequence just cache the results before rendering, not at the same time, if in the viewport is actualizing, it should cache a sequence of vdbs correctly doing a play till the timeline end.

Just so you know, I am guessing why this particular combination with 0.8 worked and the new 1.0 version did not. As I mentioned, I think the 1.0 ...

I see - had that once, too. Did you try the backup way to have a clean Softimage? Also disconnect everything else like workgroups and than only connect the VDB Workgroup.

Re: OpenVDB to Softimage

@WilliamP I think, I just dont understand but what exactly is not working? Can you see the green vdb pointcloud in Softimage? But exporting that to VDB is not working? I also only extracted the downloaded plugin files into my workgroup and it works. What I sometimes do when nothing really helps, is...

Re: OpenVDB to Softimage

Guys I know this thread is kinda old, but just wondered how do you do this setup on SI 2014? I installed this as workgroup. Do the import VDB but can´t render. I´m using Redshift.
