  • Turbulence FD + Arnold visibility problem [C4D]

    Hi everyone, hope you can help, tested TFD with standard and physical renderer in C4D and renders fine however unable to get things working in the IPR/final render when using with Arnold..

    My Arnold workflow:
    – Setup simulation exactly the same
    – Add Arnold parameter tag to the TFD Container
    – Add Arnold standard volume after the parameter tag
    – Same simulation and viewport settings on the TFD container

    I can see the cached simulation in the viewport absolutely fine, when I head into the IPR window I get the full scene rendered but without any of the TFD simulation.

    Any thoughts on a solution would be fantastic as not sure what to try next.

    Thanks.

    Try following these instructions from the Arnold docs:

    Hey mate, thanks for the reply, I’ve followed those docs and a few tutorials but to no success, makes me think there’s and incompatibility somewhere, unless I’m missing something obvious.

    Thanks again.

    I don’t know then. As an alternative you could try exporting the cache as openVDB and then create an Arnold volume and link to that VDB.
