Hi All,

Looking for some help re. importing a sequence of openvdb files?

I tried $F in the Octane_Volumetrics OpenVDB file dialogue but while the file names scrub through, no data is loaded.

Thanks!

The "$F" token in the OpenVDB file is used to insert the frame number. It uses the #### numbering format, for example, the file "fire_$F.vbd" is expanded as "fire_0023.vdb" in the frame 23.

Hi Juan,

My files are named test_001.vdb, test_002.vdb etc, and when I use test_$F.vdb the data from the openvdb files do not load.

How else do I load a sequence of openvdb files, or am I missing something?

Thanks!

The problem is that your files should be named test_0001.vdb, test_0002.vdb etc ... you need to use a four digits numbering.
