separating volumes

[dannyODF]

hey, Im using a file node to bring in a volume .bgeo sequenced that I cached. When I middle mouse click on it, it says it has two volumes. how do I separate out these volumes into separate nodes?

thanks!

volumes are primitives.

Branch of two delete nodes one deleting prim 0 and the other deleting prim 1.

Thanks guys, that worked. I am trying to mix the volumes now, but they won't mix. I suspect its because they have different indexes. Ive attached an image. When you view the information for each file node, it says each one has 1 volume, but one node's volume is at index 0, and the other is at 378. How can I set the 378 volume to 0 (hopefully that will allow them to be mixed).

thanks,

I used the sort node... so intuitive!

you can also delete/separate volumes by name using an expression in the group field :

@name=density

or to delete 3 velocity volumes at the same time :

@name=vel*

have fun with volumes
