Hi!

I know that there currently isn't a way to make Explosia FX work with Octane without loading a VDB sequence in.

It would be great if the Octane VDB container can actively watch for changes in files but I expect that might be a bit of a challenge so I wondered if it might be possible to just include a simple "Reload files" button.

That way we can very quickly run a new Explosia cache, hit the reload button in the VDB object and boom - updated VDB sequence

Thanks guys!

It will load the vdb again if you go to another frame.

Ah nice, so you can just re-cache and you don't have to do anything at all - just move to a new frame? That's great!

I literally asked this because I see so many people talking about how it doesn't work great with Octane but this makes it seem less of a hassle. Sure it's not as deeply integrated as Cycles but it's no different than TFD (as in you cache it first and then render).

Do you have any tips to make the Octane container perfectly line up with the X-Particles cache?

Cheers

EDIT: Scrap the question about making it line up - it seems as though the issue with the cache being flipped is no longer an issue, Insydium must have corrected it. Just tried this out and it's working great now anyway, all i have to do is hit cache and it automatically updates in the IPR. No different to TFD
