Earns its place in the scriptspot library as a focused utility for one step: turning already simmed FumeFX grids into aligned, renamed VrayVolumeGrids with their cache loaded. It's a raw script with no interface, which suits users comfortable running scripts directly.
FumeFX to VrayVolumeGrid miniscript, also called FFX2VrayVG, is a small script by David Aviles for 3ds Max. It creates one or more VrayVolumeGrids from two or more selected FumeFX grids that have already been simulated. The script aligns each created VrayVolumeGrid to its FumeFX counterpart, renames them accordingly, and loads the cache files from the master FumeFX grids.
The tool fits a workflow where FumeFX grids are simulated first and then handled once the cache files are ready. It is aimed at rendering already simmed, compatible VDB FumeFX cache in V-Ray, covering the align, rename and repath steps in that process.
Running it is direct: select all the already simmed FumeFX grids, then run the script. There is no interface, macro or button, so it is a raw script you execute yourself. It is compatible with 3ds Max 2016 and up, and the developer notes it can be shared and altered as needed.
FumeFX to VrayVolumeGrid miniscript is best for artists rendering already simmed, compatible VDB FumeFX cache in V-Ray who want the created VrayVolumeGrids aligned, renamed and loaded from the master FumeFX grids.
FumeFX to VrayVolumeGrid miniscript is completely free to download and use.
FumeFX to VrayVolumeGrid miniscript is compatible with 3ds Max 2016 and up, so releases in that range should be able to run it. It works with FumeFX grids that have already been simulated and with compatible VDB FumeFX cache intended for rendering in V-Ray. Because it operates on FumeFX and V-Ray objects, those plugins need to be present in your 3ds Max setup. For exact version details, check the developer's page linked with this entry.
FumeFX to VrayVolumeGrid miniscript runs with a simple sequence: select all the FumeFX grids that have already been simulated, then run the script. It expects two or more selected grids. Once run, it creates the VrayVolumeGrids, aligns them to the FumeFX grids, renames them accordingly, and loads the cache files from the master FumeFX grids. There is no interface, macro or button, so it is a raw script you execute directly, and you should be comfortable running scripts in 3ds Max.
FumeFX to VrayVolumeGrid miniscript does not have a user interface. There is no UI, macro or button; it is described as a crude raw script to run. To use it, you select all the already simmed FumeFX grids and run the script, which then creates the VrayVolumeGrids, aligns and renames them, and loads the cache files from the master FumeFX grids. The developer mentions hoping this changes in a future iteration.
FumeFX to VrayVolumeGrid miniscript is listed as free in this catalog, and the developer notes it can be shared and altered as needed. For current licensing terms and any updates, check the developer's page linked with this entry. It is a small script created by David Aviles, inspired by an earlier FumeFX-to-VrayVolumeGrid tool, though the developer states none of that tool's code is included here beyond an inspirational variable and the help layout.
