Title: VDB
Post by: Endorphine on 2018-10-05, 06:51:08: Hello.
I can not find VDB supporting in: https://trello.com/b/dgI8vjDb/corona-road-map-cinema-4d
Is it because VDB already supported inside cinema r20?

Post by: TomG on 2018-10-05, 14:11:14: OpenVDB is not supported yet (that's the CoronaVolumeGrid object in 3ds Max). It is logged in our internal tracker, but no timeframe for when it might be done yet. Once a timeframe is decided on, it will show up on the roadmap there :)

Corona pretty fast, simple, and gives stunning results. I think it can be used in VFX.
Sory, if i write something wrong.. (English not native)

Post by: TomG on 2019-01-16, 14:23:11: No time frame yet, the roadmap would be the place to watch. As a note, we are looking into possible improvements to OpenVDB in the Corona core (e.g. better overlapping of VDB objects, which currently is an issue) so we may not see any work done on moving this across until the core has had any updates (rather than work on porting something that is already undergoing improvements, may be best to wait til the improvements are done and working).

Post by: lollolo on 2019-01-16, 16:44:27: I'm thinking to buy the new X-Particles 4, but I will only do it if Corona supports it. But I'm glad that you will work on it.

Post by: vonlanthen on 2019-05-16, 15:30:45: is it supported now? its been a while since he posted the question.

Post by: houska on 2019-05-16, 15:37:55: Nope, VDB is still not supported. We do however support volumetric shaders in the newest daily build, so you can try that out at least!

Post by: lollolo on 2019-06-13, 12:55:19: Any news here when it could happen? I'm still waiting... ;)

Thanks!

Post by: lightbits on 2019-06-13, 16:31:32: Yep, it would be really awesome to have openVDB support sooner than later. As of me, that's the feature I am waiting for the most.
Title: Re: VDB
Post by: kod3d on 2019-08-02, 09:32:42: Yes, VDB is a big one, X-particles rendering with corona would be awesome, X-particles is one of the reasons people stick with C4D or choose an external renderer, you should get in touch with them they are really helpful!

Post by: slowgojoe on 2020-02-09, 06:02:21: Been a few more months. just thought i'd give this a bump. I use it a lot in Max. But i work with a bunch of C4D guys. I'm getting tired of saying "sorry, but it doesn't exist in C4D yet" (and i'm sure they're getting tired of hearing it).

Post by: TomG on 2020-02-10, 15:04:44: Hi! OpenVDB is on the roadmap for Corona 6, as the CoronaVolumeGrid (same as in Max) - https://trello.com/c/5TINlgLd/88-corona-volume-grid. No date yet as to when it might be in the daily builds though.

There is a future plan with no fixed date or version, which would be to see if it would be possible (or even useful) to support the native C4D VDB. It could be irrelevant once the Corona Volume Grid is there, since you could just load your VDB files into that.

Title: Re: VDB
Post by: Vlad Vernica on 2020-04-03, 10:03:19: Yes. Maybe a daily build can have it soon? :)

Post by: stuartwoodapple on 2020-05-25, 23:31:03: Hi, I saw that VDB rendering got bumped from Corona 6 to “pot of big ideas”... that’s sad. Is there anything we can do to bump it back again?!
Title: Re: VDB
Post by: TomG on 2020-05-26, 13:40:13: Sadly not, sorry. In order to finish what is coming in Corona 6, we won't be able to fit in OpenVDB this time around.
