Hello,

Just change the FumeFX cache extension to .vdb and it will save to vdb format.

When you open the cache folder, is the cache with exactly that name present ?


Re: VDB_EXport (How?) - Suppybird_FumeC4D - 06-18-2019

Try rename even when export. Not when aready exported.

yes these are the original cachefiles, created with your tutorial-03. i only renamed the whole .fxd-sequence with a batchprogramm.

i cant find any option to set up a different file-extension in fumefx during export.

ah sorry,
under general/paths renaming the cachefile-extension to .vdb before simulating works.
now octane finds the different gridinformations in the vdb-file
thank you and sorry for wasting your time
