VDB Material is already IN Engine, check this Video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/ommX24eJhIFyl6w Also after some research I found out few useful CVARs for heterogeneous volume: r.HeterogeneousVolumes.IndirectLighting 1 - makes SKYLIGHT affect volume. Looks much better. r.HeterogeneousVolumes.MaxTraceDistance 0-1000000 values in cm change visibility distance. So your Volume won't fade away.

A little tip: If you ever lose track of an asset in a huge environment, you can always left double-click on it under the Outliner, this will instantly transport your view to that asset. It's so simple it's almost stupid, but it can save you a lot of time in some cases :D

@samuelenslin1850
9 ай бұрын
Hm, looks like I am not the only one with issues matching the transforms of the VDB. To me it looks like it places the pivot on top of the volume, instead of the bottom. I sim with phoenix FD in 3ds max, doing the axis flip didn´t fix it and I simply couldn´t figure out how to place it correctly. Tried all sorts of things, like just copy pasting the translation values form max to unreal, switching pls/minus on exis etc. But scale also was completely randomly off, I had to downscale the volume to like 0.3 in Unreal. For some vers specific stuff, like the wheel, you can probably eyeball it, but if you have particles emitting, its near impossible to just match it uo like that. So, if anybody finds a solution to this, would be very interested... I don´t think I can move the pivot of my sim in 3ds max, but even that wouldn´t help, if the scale was randomly off... In the end I´ll probably just have to learn niagara, I haven´t really pushed VDB quality, highest I tried so far was just 25mill voxel sim, which is still rather lores in terms if smoke sims. And that quality pretty much matches what I´ve seen from niagara fluids....
@postprocessed
9 ай бұрын
yeah same here... It feels like that Heterogeneous volume just takes the pivot in center of the sim and doesn't care about original pivot in Houdini, Embergen or other 3d software. So it is still an issue which you need to deal with manually. I am also looking into niagara, but it is not rendering in Path Tracing if we are talking about fluid sims like smoke or water... So if they manage to make it work in PT, then we don't need VDBs anymore.
@samuelenslin1850
9 ай бұрын
Oh, didn´t know that. Doesn´t really make sense to me, since the rendering part is basically the same, but maybe they need to figure out some sort of internal conversion to the vdb format or something. I´m sure that will come though. Its just one of these moments, where I know how to do pretty much everything in PhoenixFD, but I don´t even know if I COULD do everything in niagara, so the thought of learning that new sim toy only to realize that it can´t do something I need and I could just do with my old sim toy...:) But thats Unreal in a nutshell for me. Still quite a few limitations for filmmaking, but the speed of progress is just astounding, so yeah, probably need to dive into niagara soon...:)

Hm... Interesting. Because when I exported NOT baked animation smooth keyframes were not interpolated correctly in Blender or Embergen. Seems some of the software actually support smooth keyframes without baking

Unreal Engine 5.3 might be amazing but there almost no marketplace assets that you can use.. same even for 5.2 :/

your material doesnt really make sense. You're importing Attribute A only on R channel but you're using G channel to be applied on the extinction pin. It's pulling nothing from the G channel. Also, Unreal does read temperature and other attributes. You just need to know how to use it in the material.

please listen carefully what I am talking about. Unreal reads only temperature and density. It doesn't read vectors, flames and particles. How is the material doesn't make sense if it is built in the engine? Dude...

@@postprocessed I tried it and temperature and flame works. and I've tried your G channel and it does nothing since it doesnt contain anything at all. built in the engine doesnt mean it's always be useful. Every users have their own experience and sources. Some vdbs really do have G channel on the first parameters. But if you in particular dont need it, you dont need it. You dont have to get so defensive, especially if you didn't make the material yourself. I found this by trials and voiced it out, not just blasting nonsense. What a terrible attitude for a youtuber. If you cant take this kind of discussions, then just turn off the comments.

@@Potatinized probably you should adjust your attitude in the first place and voice your thoughts in more polite manner. And check out UE documentation. Yes there are some variations of this material which you can find on UE forums, where people are modifying it. I am following UE documentation in order avoid speculation. Also in different software like Embergen for example the flame pass works different than in Houdini and for some reason just overly-bright even with 0.01 values and makes whole VDB volume a huge chunk of emissive light. If you've started this conversation in different manner - this dialogue would have been more productive, and I am not disabling the comments as I am open to opinions, not just rude ones

@@postprocessedrude? I wrote that as calm as I can be. since when "this doesnt make any sense" sounds like "lol you suck" or whatever? You're the first who made an obvious remark to be rude with your "Dude.." comment. If you're too sensitive and read it with insulting tone, then i guess turning off comments really is your best choice after all. And has it even occur to you that internet has people all over the world, where grammar isn't really matter? I've spoken with other people that wrote a lot worse than I did, but it was obvious that he meant no harm. You as a KZitemr, should know this first hand.

@@Potatinized Dude is rude for you? My my, people are so fragile now. Or you don't identify as a dude? Than my bad. That is funny as writing "this doesn't make any sense" - not rude, but "dude" is rude. If that material didn't make any sense it wouldn't have worked on the first place. It works and a lot of people had successful result with it. If you didn't mean any offense in your message you should have probably phrased it different. I think best choice for you either pick words which don't imply wrongful interpretation, or probably just disconnect your keyboard, dunno. I think it would be best for you just to start over this conversation and get straight to facts. And yes, I got comments written much worse than yours by people who really wanted just to mess with me and spoiler: I don't care. You seem to know something, but pretend that you are better with all this "You just need to know how to use it in the material." stuff. Don't even try pulling that stuff that "you meant to harm, English is not my native language". Just do better and polite

I haven't seen this video yet but I'm going to guess that this won't work for me. Let's see if I'm right! yeah this is a joke. I have a burnt-looking VDB cloud that won't light in any remotely useful way. Not your fault, Epic's.
