This is fantastic! Thank you for the walkthrough! Note for those running into similar issues about VdbResearch- names got updated in release 0.4.0: -Rename VdbActors to VdbMaterialActors, because they use Unreal`s material system -Rename VdbResearch* to VdbPrincipled* because they use a custom shader based on offline raytracer principled shaders -Rename VdbVolume to VdbVolumeStatic

I have been playing with this for a few hours now, and my best result so far is to use embergen for the vdb creation, export density and flames, and use the flames for temperature instead of temp. Then I play with the density multiplier and the black body values, and I get some really nice flames. Thanks again for the tutorial and pointing me in the right direction.

Some problem fixing, If it helps anyone: -To get rid of grainy VDBs: go to "Volume > Attributes" and increase the Samples Per Pixel. -I also noticed that some sims won't appear complete (as if they were distorted by the bounding box) or do not appear at all. To fix this you can decrease the Local Step Size (although be careful as it can slow down a lot your PC performance). Big thanks for the tut on this plugin Winbush!

Fantastic, Winbush!! You always deliver information in such an extremely concise, clear, and well delivered format. You're like a lighthouse on the shores of creativity. I truly appreciate all that you do. Quick question... For some reason, when I added the "Dust_Devil_Tornado"... drop it into my environment, everything in the vicinity suddenly goes PITCH BLACK. I don't know why - it's strangely decoupling my light settings, but only when the viewport is facing the VDB -- when I turn away in a 180 direction, everything (all the light) comes back. Would you have any thoughts on why this is happening and how to fix it...?

Great video We have to be carefull with the latest release (0.6.0) VDBs layers (like density, temperature, flamme etc...) need to have the exact same size to work Otherwize you will be able to plug the density but other non-matching grids won't work In Houdini for exemple it might be the case when converting volumes to VDBs for export you'll need to do a "VDB Combine" in "Activity Union" mode with the vel.x for exemple to have the same grid size for all your layers

@keithyakouboff8755 Год назад

Hi there. Been watching your tute, and having some trouble. I cached out a 120-frame, VDB sequence from Maya's Bifrost (a gun blast). I exported 7 attributes with, 5 of which were accepted by UE5 during import: * voxel_flame_level_set * voxel_flame_speed * voxel_fog_density * voxel_temperature * and voxel_velocity. Why these? Well, I picked the attributes that seemed closest to what a Maya Learning Channel tutor was picking in his video. I.e., I'm guessing. So, after dragging and dropping the first frame of my VDB sequence into the Content folder, I waited a while, but eventually everything came in. But, it came in as 5 separate files (based on the attributes listed above). Not sure if this is correct or not. Anyway, I looked for VDBResearchActor, but it was not there. I went to the developer's site and it seems to have changed to VDBPrincipledActor. So, I selected this instead. I went into its details tab and started making changes based on his instructions. One thing that needed to be done was to -- and this aligns with what you say in your video -- go into the Lit menu and select Pathtracing. Well, I have no path tracing option, even though I set everything up in Project Settings. (I have a GTX card, which may be the culprit?) Anyway, all I have are dots. No volumetric cloudiness. All that, and it seems all I have is dots to show for it. LOL Follow-up.... Found the Step Size, which slows things down, but definitely makes my sim better in terms of its density / cloudiness. Unfortunately, while I can now control the color of the VDB, I cannot seem to get in heat info, and hence no fire. The options under PrincipledActor are not the same as under ResearchActor. This is fun! 😫😭

You have to hit up the developer I honestly haven't used this plugin much since this tutorial as the developer is actively always working on it so he's been updating often

@@JonathanWinbush Of course. Well, thanks for taking the time to respond.

thank you for this tuto do you need a rtx GPU to make it work properly ? I tested with my 1080ti unfortunately, I had a big freeze followed by an error message about the gpu

@JonathanWinbush 2 года назад

I'm using a 2080ti myself as I'm showing in the tutorial but I think the newer the gpu the more stable I'd imagine but I can't say for a fact

@thomasl97 2 года назад

@@JonathanWinbush Thanks for your answer, I also think that with a more recent hardware it should work better. I will continue to test with my "old" gpu but I think I'll switch to a newer gpu soon. Thanks again for the video!

It's always good to see good tutorials! When I import a VDB file by drag and drop or import, Unreal Engine immediately crashes and quits. Could you please tell me why this error occurs?

@JonathanWinbush 2 года назад

I would reach out to Thibault on this one since he is actively developing the plugin he probably would want to see the crash logs twitter.com/LambertTibo

@@JonathanWinbush I don't know why, but I tried it after a while and it worked fine. It seems very mysterious. thank you for your reply!

@@c4d783 I bet the shaders where compiling because when you first use this plugin it has to compile again

hello, very nice vidéo! I have just a problem with the plugin and i don't realy understand. I follow the step for adding a plugin but when i enable it and drag a vdb file on my unreal, i don't have the pop up for importing vdb and the failed import error. If you know why, any help would be welcome!

@JonathanWinbush Год назад

Yea it's to my understanding the plugin has been updated since this tutorial so I'd look at the documentation to see the changes as I know he updates regulary

So for whatever reason, I can only get the VDBs from Embergens free downloads to show up. Anything created and exported on my own from Embergen lacks the ability to display correctly once dragged in, even as just a still VDB. Something about it clearly has to do with bounding size. Embergens free examples import with bounding box already scaled, custom ones exported from Embergen import as extremely tiny - now usually like in C4D you fix this by scaling your VDB up by 200x, which then shows the bounding box correctly in UE5, but still no VDB volumetrics are visible whatsoever. Tried increasing the Local Step Size and other parameters on UE's actor object for the vdb, but nothing works. Very weird since on import it clearly shows the custom VBD has density, flame, a dimension and memory size, but shows absolutely nothing. I'm thinking the VDBs available on Embergens site have a different parameter set on export that isn't so obvious for custom ones by it's users - have tried messing with upscaling / sim size in Embergen prior to export but still nothing.
