-y offset when generating vdb format

[vance3d]

I tried a simple sim with default settings in a fume grid with a simple source saving out as .vdb format. The sim runs fine and the viewport display set to show smoke is correct but after the sim is finished, playback of the sim is offset in the -y axis.

I tested this in both max 2015 and max 2016 with the same results.

I'm using Fume FX 4.0.2

Thanks,

Any info on a fix for this? It's been broken in some way or form since the release. it poses a problem when trying to load a vdb into maya if it's offset like this.

I have the same problem. Was keen to test out the vdb rendering with V-Ray Volume grid, but this issue probably makes it too much of a pain to use in production.

I've found field3d simms can take much longer to go through compared to fxd, cause of the compression type on the files, so was hoping that vdb would fix those issues

Hello,

That bug should have been fixed in 4.0.1 and it seems to be working fine here.

Here are the FumeFX 4.0.3 beta installers you might want to install and see if it works properly.

Fume FX 4.0.3 should be out within a week.

Thank you.

I added a screen shot of what we got going on here. Simple src, static, low rez. Immediately is offset in 4.0.2. We can't install those 4.0.3 betas, because ..we're on 4.0.2


2016
fume 4.0.2

Hello,

Thank you for the screenshot - you can try to disable boundless (if it's enabled) and see if it works.
Could please someone with 4.0.2 and VDB offset bug try 4.0.3 and see if it works ?
Looking forward to hear your findings.

Great,
I'll have them download the new build and I'll check it out.

Thanks.

Is 4.03 available as an official release? My IT dept doesn't like installing beta software.

And can others that have installed the beta verify that it solves the vdb offset issue?

thanks,
