How to Shade and Render VDB files in Blender - FREE Pyro Shader Included

[@hkh_vfx]

Thank you! Just what I needed for my newly purchased Aerial Explosion VDBs.

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Awesome! We'd love to see what you make with them!

[@KKAkuoku]

I really hope you make more .vdb files soon! Especially some dust explosions and muzzle flashes.

[@resilientpicture]

Nice one. Thanks for the shoutout and mention. Much appreciated. :)

The colors look wrong when using AgX in Blender 4.0. It looks like the shift toward the magenta. Do you know of any way to correct this?

[@ZacharyVanHoy]

I'd suggest adjusting the colors in the color ramp that is driving the fire colors. AgX will handle colors in a different way but you should be able to dial in a look but adding more green to the colors in the ramp.

the sample vdbs dont show in my scene on 4.2

[@ActionVFXofficial]

Some import large within the scene. Be sure to skim to a midpoint on the timeline, have your VDB selected and enter "." to view.

What is the Scatter grid? I cant find it anywhere on other VDBs

[@ZacharyVanHoy]

The Scatter grid is something used to help enhance explosion and pyro rendering. Not all VDBs have this and if yours doesn't then you can disconnect the portions using the Scatter grid or replace Scatter with something like Temperature or Heat.

can't be used with my own simulation :(

i can see nothing

I guess you worked it out, but it was most likely because the VDBs were still zipped, so Blender couldn't access them. Just extract the whole project folder and it should link normally.
