Just tried a few example files exported to VDB and they exported prefectly even with 3X upsampling - attached an example render.

Curious as to what your octane settings are, been having a tough time getting it to match

Same issue on my side!!

And same for me - No license.

+1 I have the same problem with the license. Is it probably only for those users that just extended the maintenance for octane 2020? In my account I have an active license until next year under the licenses section but no running subscription in the subscriptions section...

Haven't had much luck getting it to replicate results in c4d with octane, what are your import settings?

Can't believe that 8 mb program can do such job. Tried on 150 mln voxels and still working. 30 mln particles in real time with forces and explosions. This is epic and has a chance to be a production standard. If you will make good integrations also in plugins - this will be game-changer. It's a lot of work to improve this software, but the start is very promising.

I had no license issues running EmberGenFX but now the Houdini Octane Plugin is not working anymore.

If you are on Enterprise maintenance (not sub) with all access, there may be a backend issue we missed at launch. Looking into this ASAP and worst case please file a ticket with [email protected] if it is not resolved shortly

I have an OctaneRender Studio Subscription, so you know

Is this only for PC?
Is there no support for Macs with nVidia gpus on High Sierra or previous OS?

First question. How do you start the export to VDB process? I click on the "Export" button but am not given a file selector box. Nothing happens. It's like the button is non-functional.

Second. Is it normal for the GPU to be at 99% even when the program is sitting idle? (2080ti)

Thanks in advance.

this is really a baller move from otoy.
thank you very, very much.

if this is to be included in the enterprise, along with sculptron, it would really make staying on the subscription a no brainer.

question:

it seems that orbx cant be exported from ember natively. will this be added in the future?
