Render PhoenixFD with Arnold? Or GPU?

[OlaHaldor]

I'm new to PhoenixFD, I barely just heard about the new beta coming to Maya, so I instantly signed up for it and can't wait to find time to check it out. But then it struck me: will it render with Arnold ? Redshift? Octane? Or does it require V-Ray?

Hello,

Currently Phoenix FD for Maya supports officially only V-Ray.

Aww.. Okay. Super joy went to super bummer.

Okay, here's another one: can I export the sim to OpenVDB with the Maya beta version to test render in the engines I use?

[georgi.zhekov]

Yes, you can. Just set the output path to absolute and at the end instead of .aur put .vdb

It should look something like C:\Cache###.vdb
