Export PhoenixFD to Houdini (VDB?)

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Hey,

3.05.01 is the generic name for all nightlies. Could you please check the Build ID in the About dialogue?

Also, if this is the entire path, it will not work - Phoenix needs a full path, not just the filename.

Cheers!

Sorry, yes, there is a full path to a network drive.
The build ID is
1611177063

It should be enough to just type .vdb in stead of .aur, right?

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Yup, this should be all - just make sure you have a full path like C:\something\cache####.vdb or \\drive\cache####.vdb.

Does it still export aur files?

[gardeler]

Found the problem! If you use the browse function and type .vdb, it will automatically add .aur to the path. If you delete .aur in the path in the modifier panel afterwards, it does output the vdb's!

So I guess you need to add .vdb to fileformats in the browse function?

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Ah, yes - the browser autocompletes it indeed - you need to edit the name in the edit box. We would wrap this and make it much more pretty than this state it's in right now, but I'm waiting for the time for some other changes to come that would make it much more different all at once.
