Failed to find/use volume path for "/obj/scatter" because of "/obj/scatter/primitive1", writing data directly

[sv]

Hi all,

I'm getting this error which isn't obvious to me what what the problem is:

Failed to find/use volume path for "/obj/scatter" because of "/obj/scatter/primitive1", writing data directly

I have a nice render happening locally in the Vray Frame buffer, but when I'm batching the Vray ROP to the farm I'm getting this error - can Chaos Group (or anyone) explain what this means and what needs to be done about it?


Thanks

When exporting volumes we try to export a path to .vdb file if one is loaded in houdini and data is not modified. If the exporter can't, it will write the vdb data directly to the .vrscene.

I will make an issue to improve the message and add this to docs.

This is good that you are now throwing messages for this sort of thing.
