Unable to render volumes in Solaris with Arnold


Recommended Posts

Hi,
I'm unable to render volumes in Solaris with Arnold. I read that sopImport doesn't work with volumes for Arnold so I exported as VDB and imported in lops with both volume and file nodes. The scene renders fine if I use Karma but if switch to Arnold the VDB won't render at all. I'm attaching a sample scene. Can anybody take a look and let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

UPDATE: it now works - I was caching the VDB in the wrong way. However, I hope they will fix this problem soon and allow us to use SOPimport for volumes to be rendered with Arnold in Solaris. It is very limiting to have to write VDB's every time if one wants to build a procedural system.
