Hello,
is it possible that the 'render multiple cameras' feature is buggy?
(2014SP2)
I created a camera group, chose it in the pass, added the [Camera] token
to the channels filenames, and the images overwrite each other. Looks
like the camera name is not updated.
Thanks!

The only verbosity level you can change is that of the renderer.

Try exporting/importing it as obj, maybe something on it needs resetting.

But in what way would you like to see OpenVDB supported in emPolygonizer4?
I am asking because OpenVDB is for voxel data.

PS: emPolygonizer4 works well for most setups! It is just that it has its
limits when working with very heavy inputs and extreme level of details.
The memory consumption of emPolygonizer4 can grow quite fast. The more input
particles and the higher the level of detail the more memory it will consume.
emTopolizer2 however meshes things bit by bit which results in neglectable
memory consumption no matter how your level of detail might look.
How does the two plugins compare speed and memory wise when it comes to
meshing a heavy fluid?
