Hi, I would like to explore some VFX shots with Corona, I purchased a package of some smoke and fire VDBs. I got a folder with hundreds of vdbs (frame by frame apparently) and I'd like to make the work in my 3DsMax and Corona scene. Is it possible to load the sequence of VDBs in corona? and if so, is it possible to set when their first frame starts within the animation?
Thanks for the help.

AFAIK Corona automatically loads sequence of VDB files based on their names. So for example if your files are named something like cloud_0001.vdb, cloud_0002.vdb and so on, you just need to load the first file and Corona will pick up the rest. As for your second question, you can find animation controls in animation rollout of the CoronaVolumeGrid object.
