OTOY Forums

I have scanned here and not found much. Bums me out. I know there's not many using, but has no one figured this out and posted? I've tried the blackbody option, texture emission, and the ramp shader. Ramp gets me sort of close, but why doesn't the blackbody just work like it does in TFD? Give me a nice fire smoke? Instead of just white smoke? I have not been able to get anything anywhere close to what TFDs native LW shader can do; in Octane. Ugh.

Should I convert TFD to VBD? Would I have more success? Or at least more tutorials? Since VDB is far more prevalent?

There are some topics about Octane and TFD in the forum, for example, this one, that has a lot of screengrabs about the TFD setup:

Hey pixelsmack, did you find any other references or tutorials besides that nearly four-year-old thread juanjgon linked?

Sadly no and that link didn’t really help. :/

Hm, well, I was having some success after buying the tutorials from liberty3d.com, but then COVID-19 hit my area and my partner was hospitalized (he’s fine now) and I’ve been working long hours to make up for my colleagues who’ve been laid off and on and on and ON... so I haven’t touched this in over a month. But I think I’ll be able to start up on this again next month, so maybe I’ll try putting something simple up here that I’ve done, with the steps I took. It is definitely very fiddly, but it definitely does work!

Look forward to this and thank you! Also glad to your guy is okay. Scary stuff. :/
