Merged Volumes Won't Render

[ben_elliot]

Hi,

I have a clustered volume setup cached out that I have pulled back in using a file sop in a for-loop and I noticed that whenever I try to render the volumes, Vray only sees one of them. I tried bringing in the volumes individually, which worked as expected but as soon as I merge a second volume, I go back to only seeing one. I managed a hack using some vdb combines to flatten the 40 or so volumes into a single beastly one, but this will not work for shots that require variable volume resolution (close up volumes hi-res and further volumes lo-res) nor is it a very elegant solution.

Is this a known bug? Intended functionality? Anything I should try?

We are using CentOS 7 and Vray for Houdini number:11585 hash:6483aef from 22 Mar 2021 02:59 (build number:11585)

Thanks!
Ben

Either throw a pack sop to each volume or just load them as pack disk primitive from the file sop.

Lovely, thank you!
