I'm trying to mess around with the Disney VDB clouds and there are a ton of separate VDB files. When I try to load a second file in, only the first one will render. If I disable the first one the second one will render but I can't seem to get them to both render at the same time. Is this a limitation or am I just doing something wrong?

Hi,

I've never seen a problem like that. How are you adding the two VDB files? Be aware that you are going to need two placeholder objects to add them, you can't add two volumetric custom object plugins to the same object.

2 separate nulls with the custom object octane volumetrics on them.

With the same object name? Perhaps you are instancing the first one using the default enabled instance LW clones feature.

Thanks,

Renaming the nulls fixed my issue. Thanks
