[SOLVED]Can't Make VDB From Triangle Based Mesh?

[Atom 717]

I have an animated mesh that is made up of triangles. It looks ok to me and PolyDoctor, but when I try to convert it to a VDB it looks wrong and awful.

Is there any solution for this?

I have tried Fuse, Clean, PolyDoctor, Subdivision and Remesh. None of those approaches seem to have any positive affect.

 

Can Houdini convert triangles into a valid VDB?

It's an open surface with no volume. You need watertight object.

Thanks for this fix!

I guess my original use of polyextrude did not work as well as I thought.

Yep, after reviewing my original, I forgot to enable output back.
