Thanks for getting back to me!
The part about connecting the workgroup is the part that works fine. I get all
the nodes in the list on the side of the ICE window, but there must be
something else I need to have installed first to make it all go.
At the beginning of his tutorial he calls the VDB_Voxelize_Geometry node, which
is in my listing, but when I get it out it has the Geometry in but no VDB_Grid
out. If I unpack VDB_Voxelize_Geometry it only has one node inside that doesn’t
connect to anything. I am presuming it is calling on other sub-nodes that it
expects to be on my computer.
If I try and load the test scene it comes back with a long list of VDB missing
errors, for example ‘Could not find node VDB_MeshToGrid’
VDB_MeshToGrid is not one that comes with Mr.Cores (Oleg Biliznuk’s) Compounds,
but it does call on it, expecting it to be there, I presume.
What am I missing? There is a lot of mentioning of StoA in connection to his
compounds, but is that something I need if I am using Redshift, not Arnold? Do
I need to be a licensed Arnold user?
Thanks in advance for your help on this!
William

A bit more info would help but,
first off download the workgroup which has the plugin already in it, point your
soft to it with the plugin manager, most likely restart soft then see if the
ice nodes are in the preset manager....

Subject: VDB stuff
Hi All
Please excuse my parachuting in like this but I am not sure where to get the
info I’m looking for and hope someone here can direct me.
Is there an archive somewhere that I can look previous topics up on, in case
what I’m looking for has already been hashed over already?
I am trying to get Redshift to render VDB files in Softimage 2015, like can be
seen here
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cgicoffee.com_blog_2016_06_softimage-2Dice-2Dvdb-2Dredshift&d=DwIF-g&c=76Q6Tcqc-t2x0ciWn7KFdCiqt6IQ7a_IF9uzNzd_2pA&r=GmX_32eCLYPFLJ529RohsPjjNVwo9P0jVMsrMw7PFsA&m=LbUFQybrjBt9no1Zwaku2ik4aH_o0Q-eDLvlM2uR-gM&s=i0AeAbWL6khwcSkCE9h2uSyHW3e97VtVFvgOKvZsEts&e=,
and while I’ve chased down as many links as I can online, I suspect I’m going
about installing the addons improperly, or missing a step, or something.
Any assistance, or direction to a detailed set of installation instructions
would be appreciated, thanks!
William
