Rendering Bifrost Sims

V-Ray V-Ray for Maya General

Hi folks,

Wondering here how to use V-Ray to render a smoke simulation out of Bifrost? I assume some sort of VDB conversion is needed? Can anyone point me to a tutorial for the entire process? I’ve been unable to find anything thus far.

Thanks :smile:

Yeah, you need to write out the files as .vdb then load them through the Vray volume grid.

Have a look at this thread. Here I’m using MPM but is the same with aero.
