Here's a short video detailing the issue.


The first half 0:00-3:44 is a control test to see if Explosia works. Spoiler alert: It does.
The second half 3:44+ is the problem that shows the exact same process with my file and it does not work.

Here is my file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=17xmiB ... 9-T5SqWRnD

If you'd like a text version of the issue I'll try and explain it: So in order to create an explosion effect within X-Particles, you have to create something called an Explosia object. This Explosia object is not viewable from Octane's Live-Viewer, and the only way to make it viewable is to create a cache, and then create an Octane OpenVDB volume to load that cache. I was able to do this for a simple primitive object, but I was unable to do so for a collection of primitive objects and was wondering why this is.

A developer from Insydium suggested I reach out to this forum for help and I could use any advice you guys have. Thanks much.

Hi,
first of all, big thanks for your way of asking help!
If all the users would do the same, my life would be much easier
I had a look at your scene, the simulation is there, but not in the correct position, so you need to move it in the correct place.
Please, have a look also at the settings, to correctly display it at the correct frame.
The simulation from X-particles is saved from 000001, to 000160, so you need to add the correct offset, and disable the loop: Happy GPU Rendering,
