ffxconvert issue (with long path?)
#1
Hi,

we were just trying to convert some .vdb files with ffxconvert.
When we try

Code:
ffxconvert.exe -r 1 10 -i X:\hyt\ink_006_010\cgfx\caches\houdini\vdb\smokecd_v010_shape_32bit_float_lp\smokecd_v010_shape_lp.vdb -o X:\hyt\ink_006_010\cgfx\caches\houdini\vdb\smokecd_v010_shape_32bit_float_lp\ffxconvert\smokecd_v010_shape_lp_.fxd

we get the following output:

Code:
FumeFX 5.0 cache converter v.0.3.6
Copyright 2016-2018 Sitni Sati [www.afterworks.com]

input:     X:\hyt\ink_006_010\cgfx\caches\houdini\vdb\smokecd_v010_shape_32bit_float_lp\smokecd_v010_shape_lp.vdb
output:    X:\hyt\ink_006_010\cgfx\caches\houdini\vdb\smokecd_v010_shape_32bit_float_lp\ffxconvert\smokecd_v010_shape_lp_.fxd
range:     1-10 step 1
draft:     1 off

converting file 1 of 10
        ERROR: Couldn't find input file "X:\hyt\ink_006_010\cgfx\caches\houdini\vdb\smokecd_v010_shape_32bit_float_lp\smokecd_v010_shape_lp0001.vdb"! Skipping file...

When copying the same file(s) to a local drive - resulting in a much shorter path name - it works.
Is there maybe a limit to the length of file paths that ffxconvert can handle?

Cheers,
Holger

Hello,

Yes, that seems to be the problem and the whole path is truncated.
We will look into this.

Thank you for the report.

Hello,

It turns out that your input file is missing _ at the end of the filename.
It should be ecd_v010_shape_lp_.vdb
