Doing a sim in R21. Since RS does not support TFD directly yet I converted the bcf to vdbs. Imported that in a RS volume, but I have to scale it 100 times to get the same scale as I sim’ed at. Is this RS or Jawset territory?
Redshift 2.6.48 should work with TFD v1.0 1450. See https://www.redshift3d.com/forums/viewthread/27596/P15
About the VDB scale after re-import
TFD converts length values from C4D’s default unit cm
to the otherwise conventional m
. This gives you the expected scale when you use the files e.g. in Houdini. It seems RS does not assume that VDB files are in m
and does not convert them back to cm
. That’s technically not incorrect, because VDB does not explicitly specify the unit it expects.
I would argue, that TFD’s converting to m
makes sense, since you typically want to use the exported files in other tools than C4D that overwhelmingly use m
as the default unit.
