Thanks a lot for sharing! incredible RnD!

Incredible work man! Thanks a lot for sharing!

Or check that you are not exporting packed alembics, that reads always as separate objects in maya.

You don't have any material loaded into volume light, also no pyro material on the pyro_import. I think volume light uses the the field which outputs "Ce", thus it will emit light to the surroundings. This is from the default fireball shelf tool, and added volume light. Advance to frame 20 and render. volumeLightSetup01.hip

Hey! Just select the usual "pyro_import" at object level, and click the shelf tool for vol light. It will use the pyro shader and suck in the volume. It is a good idea to hide the light from the viewport, because it is slow.

hi! Increase the stochastic transparency samples, try 16, on mantra ROP, also use the PBR mode, and you may increase the pixel sample to at least 4*4 What you see in the viewport is not equivalent what you see in render.

Thanks guys!

I think you got the movement right, great job!

Thanks a lot Javier!

oh man, this looks really nice!

hi! 1. it is much more controllable than voronoi 2. it gives a much more realistic look. cons: - produces a lot of polygons, but simulations can be done with proxy version. - there is a limitation with uv's transferring back to fractured model by convert_vdb sop (if someone knows a proper way, let me know) I mainly use it if the subject of fracturing is in close-up Otherwise voronoi is good for bunch of things.

hi! You converted the Bucket object to VDB, You already setup the collisions for staticobject_Sandpit (DOP), you should make the same for the staticobject_Bucket. Also rewired the dopnet a bit, could not test the sim, cos there is no animation SandPit_AnimationPreViz_db.zip

Can you please share a hip, just run into this problem, thanks a lot!
