So doesn't work with bin converted to VDB but work okay with all others? Maybe because it has to pass trough the OpenVDB Softimage voxelize?

will try that, thx.
but would make me wonder since SitoA has a volume shader/property for some time now:

but ill try!

Okay

Did anyone try to build Oleg's openvdb_to_SI on linux yet?
I'm making good progress, but my c++ knowledge is very limited at best and I have to modify some stuff that seems to work when compiling on windows, but my gcc is throwing errors.
Here is the error I am getting now: http://pastebin.com/ptfYEV2D
I had a similar error with GetFileContentInfo.cpp and changing LLONG to long int seemed to fix it, but with the current problem I'm pretty lost...

Any ideas?

i have ported the plugin to linux(rh6/centos6), you can grab it here https://bitbucket.org/OlegBliznuk/openv ... /downloads
note that win version is updated too , compiled with visual studio 2015 to fix possible errors with win10 (if any, although i did no extensive testing on those builds )

the source is updated too, you can now simply install qtcreator and compile the plug in one click (since i copy pasted all required externals into the project)

AWESOME! Thanks a ton Oleg!!
The workgroup works perfectly on my system.

hey
is there a way, to get color and density grids in one vdb file? its for that project here: http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6202

I have a simple pointcloud with color information and tried that way: https://xsisupport.files.wordpress.com/ ... envdb1.jpg
But there I get two files of course. That would not be a problem, but there is no way to read a second file with sitoa like in the example. The node does not work with actual SitoA.
Also the way how to write velocity into the grid would be nice.

thx alot!

unfortunately there is no way to store multiple grids in one file, in this connector

hey oleg

thx!

anyway - I gonna test your ExplosiaFX again, I think its even more easy to receive a stunning effect with that plugin and have the possibility to store more channels.

so, last test with the ICE only and the VDB Plugin, next will be with ExplosiaFX

Thanks for update on Win version Oleg.

Hi,

when I try to read in vdb smoke cache from Blender everything is messed up and I get a error message in the console:
unsupported VDB file format (expected version 222 or earlier, got version 223)

So, how hard would it be to port the ICE implementation to the latest openvdb version?
I might try it myself if I find the time, but given my limited skillset I will probably just burn some time without achieving anything :/

Any help would be gladly appreciated!

Thanks,
Thomas

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.
Any chance to read a tuto made on Arnold?

Thanks.

are you able to render other .vdb files to delimit the problem? on openvdb.org are some examples.

Hi

Is there anyone who found a solution working with Arnold 5 ?

Thanks
Phil

I'm arriving on the VDB scene very late and trying to make sense of the installation instructions. So I need to compile and install the openVDB source, and then your plugin will work in Softimage 2015? I've never compiled anything in my life, so know nothing about it. I did download qtcreator, but it is advising me that my kit is invalid, whatever that means. But is this something I need to do? I wish the whole openVDB thing came in as one plugin, just drag and drop.

Did you ever get a clear set of instructions anywhere? I'm using 2015, but the various 'how to' sources just left me confused.
