Every time I load any vdb file c4d crashes instantly (bunny_cloud.vdb) for example. Messgae C4D has stopped working.

octane_sketchup_3.03.2.0_2016_x64_demo.exe
Octane-for-C4D-V3.03.2-R4-win_demo

Can't wait for the subscription licenses to kick in!!

It may be a broken build. Can you try with this new build?

Amazing that's fixed it.

Thank you for the super fast support.

One other issue is loading sequences? I've tried changing the range but just says "VDB:Not found!". Is it a file naming issue? (FFX_Explosionv5_def_v003_0000.vbd) They were made in FumeFX

yes propably a naming issue. You can see resulting names in vdb output text. Try with like this.
Name_####.vdb

Yes that fixed it, and I changed the digit counter to 4

This is the same frame in FumeFX 3ds Max and C4D Octane. Why do they look so different. I'm not concerd about the colour, just the shape and size.

I've tried a few different scenes and they all look very different. I think its only reading one of the grids as they always looks less full.

Here are all the grids loaded, but I cant set them up correctly. They dont appear in the grid mapping drop down list.



Number of grids loaded: 10
Grid:1 Name:FireFuel Resolution:117*104*131 Type:Tree_float_5_4_3
Grid:2 Name:Flags Resolution:133*114*148 Type:Tree_int32_5_4_3
Grid:3 Name:HFenergy Resolution:103*63*108 Type:Tree_float_5_4_3
Grid:4 Name:Smoke Resolution:120*106*133 Type:Tree_float_5_4_3
Grid:5 Name:TextureX Resolution:131*112*146 Type:Tree_float_5_4_3
Grid:6 Name:TextureY Resolution:131*112*146 Type:Tree_float_5_4_3
Grid:7 Name:TextureZ Resolution:131*112*146 Type:Tree_float_5_4_3

Grid:10 Name:VelocitiesZ Resolution:131*112*146 Type:Tree_float_5_4_3

Can you try in standalone? Or put a few vdbs here so we can check.

Here you go,

Standalone does seem much better. All the grids are listed and selectable, but I'm not totally sure how to do this correctly to match FumeFx







And the VDB files. https://we.tl/okLhi0J65L

Thanks again for all your help!
