Trying to render the smoke example. Too much diffusion in the Max viewport and a black frame in the Octane viewport. Is there a guide for setting the Octane-volume? The original file rendered without showing any smoke even though the main viewport showed the smoke.

Thanks..I get the warning "selected channel not found in simulation data" in the OctaneVolume, even though the preview shows the smoke. Are the samples for use with PhoenxFD 4 and Octane 4.05?

Scene renders black...selected channel not found in simulation.

Does this work with Octane 4.05 and PhoenixFD 4.0?

Hi wxyz,
Yes, it does.
you would run the sim pressing "start simulation".

Ran the sim and it shows in the viewport, but when I add the volume it cannot see the data.

Hi wxyz,
Volume medium is just connected to Octane volume and particle WSM in my sample scene.
you would only to start the sim.
