Dang this is crazy, i was just looking for an in-depth video about this set up. Do you know how to link vdb files for flamenco? It wont render them out

from my tests

[@DefyCGI]

Check that the cache files (if you select the domain and click the physics properties, scroll down to cache) are also on your network storage with the project file. It should work if they are.

13:00 I'm sorry, what if I have a local address?

[@sybren.blender]

You'll always have an address that's suitable for use on your network (otherwise your network wouldn't work). When you start Flamenco Manager, it'll log a bunch of different URLs for you to try.
