Hi neonZorglub,

It seems that VDB still provides the best quality compared to native tyFlow support. Is there any way to create a built-in VDB conversion so that, on every frame, Octane automatically converts tyFlow to VDB and then renders it?

That way, we wouldn't have to export the VDBs to a ...

------------------------- Update from Octane plugin 26.9 -----------------

----- GPU VRAM -----
By default, tyFlow will use as much VRAM as available to cache the simulation frames.
This can conflict with Octane and result in a CUDA out of memory error, that prevent octane to render the scene ...

Thank you! I have another question regarding TyFlow and VRAM usage. When rendering a fire simulation, does TyFlow load only the current frame's data into VRAM and then unload the previous frame's data as it advances to the next frame? Or does VRAM usage accumulate as more frames are rendered ...

Hi neonZorglub,

I attached two scenes here. Can you please look at them at frame 65? Native support is full of pixels. The flame looks terrible.

The second scene is exported to vdb then imported into octane volume. The flame is nice looking and not pixelated.


How can we have native support ...

Hi NZ ! Thank you very much for this release !
First, you make a really good job to implement Inferno in octane, it works, it is straightforward ! :-)

I have some question because I'm a noob with vdbs : I tried to use medium created by OctVolumeTyFlow modifier to a vdb exported from my Tyflow ...

Added support for tyFlow volumes (Inferno).
Available from Octane plugin version 26.8
(for tyFlow PRO version 2.007 or higher)

Octane can render tyFlow volume direcly, without the need to export as VDB.

A new modifier "OctVolumeTyFlow (WSM)" should be used to control the Octane grid settings and ...
