Volume Grid

V-Ray V-Ray for Cinema 4D General
1

Hey Guys! I know I must be doing something wrong, but haven’t been able to find anything about this on the web.

The only way I’ve gotten a volume grid working is by using Phoenix cache from 3DS Max…If I use the VDB from Fume FX or Blender, I don’t get anything when loading the files. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Hello @Brian3D ,

Upon testing with VDB files from Blender I didn’t experience any issues and managed to successfully import the cache and render it. Would you mind sharing some of the cache files that you have issues with so we can have a look? Also, please specify the exact versions of V-Ray, Cinema4D, and your OS. Thank you.

Sorry for my delayed response, I had a major deadline and was working on that project. Here’s a screen recording. I’m trying to get fluid dynamics working from Blender. Thanks!

Hello @Brian3D ,

The reason why the liquid from Blender is not rendered correctly is because the channels from 3rd party caches need to be remapped. Currently, the liquid cache channels are not remapped correctly. We have reported this and it should be fixed soon. I will let you know once we have any updates. Thank you.

Ah, that makes sense why only phoenix cache worked. We’ve been having a lot of needs to render water lately because of one of our clients who is an appliance manufacturer. Thanks for the response and yes, that would be great if this can be fixed soon! Thanks so much!!

Hello @Brian3D ,

Our developers made some changes but it turned out that it won’t be an easy fix. Even though the data is mapped correctly, currently there is no way to render it properly and this may take some time to be fixed. I will let you know if we have any updates. Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks for letting me know! Do you think you’ll be supporting this sometime in the near future?

Hello @Brian3D ,

I am afraid that I cannot provide any specific time frame for that. I will let you know as soon as I have more information on the matter. Thank you for your patience.
