Export vdb from houdini Tweet

[amoh]

Hello!
I have certain issues exporting volumetrics to octane. That's how they look in Houdini

, and at rendering in Octane

. Would be very grateful if someone hinted on what colud be the problem.

Hi,

It is hard to say without the scene file, but anyway, you know that the plugin can render the Houdini Volume and VDB primitives directly without writing OpenVDB files, right?

What happens if you try to render this VDB directly, not using the OpenVDB file?

Thanks,

Thank you so much for your answer!

But I would like to figure out my mistake using Open VDB. Here's the scene I've been working on. Your help would be highly appreciated. Thanks again!

Hmm, I'm going to need also the scene that you are using to render the OpenVDB file with Octane. Here I can't see any problem with the exported file using a standard Octane scene and the Volume material HDA.

Thanks,
