Fumefx with 3dsmax into Maya using Vray volumetric VDB

[cum. m+d]

Hello,

We've got a vfx artist working in 3dsmax and fume. We were very excited to find out we could bring in fumefx through the VDB file. However, the fumefx cache comes in and places it in positon 0,0,0 and the scale is off as well. Anyone has any advise about this?

Hello,

Unfortunately the vdb doesn't keep position data - you'll have to place the node and set the scale manually.

Best regards,

Oh I see. Thank you.

Sure thing. As for the scale...How does someone make sure the scale is accurate?

You can always use the measure tools that are part of Maya and Max and get the exact measures.
