Loading VDB in Fumefx 5 - mpiatek - 11-22-2018
I have a VDB made in Houdini. I would like to load it in FumeFX in Max and render it out. I can see that "Select Caches" allows me to select .vdb files and I can see channel mapper window after doing so. I mapped VDB density (my only channel) to FumeFX Smoke. Grid dimensions were loaded properly etc but:
- it seems that there is no voxel data in any .vdb I load (even though tested vdb files are perfectly fine and do have data as I have tested it in Houdini); I see nothing with Voxel Data Display turned on (showing Smoke channel)
- I see nothing in viewport with GPU preview turned on
- Render is blank
- I tried adding a light and bumping up smoke density in Render tab but still nothing
What is the workflow for loading .vdb files in Fumefx?

Hello,
Could you please post few vdb cache files so we can test them?
Thank you.
