Title: Play animation VBD in the exact frame
Post by: balu007 on 2023-04-14, 17:04:14

Hi, I have an animation (e.g. 300 frames). I need to start a VBD animation (50 frames long) at frame 200. How to do it? So far, the VBD animation always starts from frame 0.
Thanks for the advice.

Should be able to use the Frame Offset, see https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528489581329-How-to-use-the-Corona-Volume-Grid-object-C4D for the helpdesk docs. Sounds like a setting of 200 would be correct, so that frame 0 to frame 1 of VDB animation begins at frame 200 to frame 201 in the C4D animation.

My colleagues method should work for this. Another thing you could try is to create a new folder in Windows Explorer where the vdb's are located and drag in the .vdb files you want to work with. These can then be loaded into the Corona Volume Grid. I hope that helps also. :)
