Concerning volumes, you can read vdb cache in softimage with the openvdb
plug in.

Then render it with mr or arnold. Also same can be done with emfluid if you
have it.
For hair you can cache them to curves with alembic, and then readjust
parameters like thickness in ice an
Hi Gerbrand,
for curves, e.g. fur, the latest versions of redshift are supposed to
support Maya´s Xgen
for fur descriptions, I think there´s one or two guys here on the list
who render fur with redshift.
Also version 2.10 of yeti was announced to support redshift, which would
mean rendering
Generally fur with redshift isnt a problem at all. I have rendered Paul's
fuzz plug-in a couple of times, and its a breeze to work with. Hair cached
as alembic should work without a problem. Theres one gotcha and its if the
points are created in ice as any shape other then segment, it wont render.
Gerbrand - Redshift may well be appearing in a Houdini near you soon'ish,
just a FYI.

yes, but on a Indie version it's still out of reach.
It would be great if there was a slightly more expensive Indie version
of Houdini that would actually allow 3rd party renderers. The FX version
including maintenance is just a tad too rich for a lot of people. ;-)

Thanks guys.. this is great info!!
I've been thinking about buying houdini base to do most of my work with
3rd party renders, and then use indie with mantra if I need fx stuff.
This is still a very expensive solution, but I need a solution soon.
This week will be spent learning blender, and tryi
Hi Tim,
that's good news about yeti 2.10 and redshift - is there a link somewhere
to read up on this?
Cheers,

I am pretty sure I got that info from the redshift forums but searching
the whole forum for "yeti"
doesn´t return a hit. Can´t find it.

So after just a few hours, I'm impressed with cycles.. needs more
investigation IMO.
So do you guys know of a good way to work around the whole "lack of
alembic" thing in blender.
In the past I've moved pc2 data from soft to blender, but I'm not sure
how to do this via houdini. Anyone know of a
That sounds like a very niche tutorial but it might be out there.
Im amazed at the fact that blenderites haven't dug their open source teeth
into alembic yet.

Alembic for blender is being developed.
but... not here yet.
I found this:

But It doesn't seem to work with h14 or h15.
There has been no word on this for a few years.
Pity.. it seems like it would have solved allot of my problems
This is a follow up on my post regarding yeti&redshift:
I couldn´t find where I had my info gotten from, so I dared ask Colin
Doncaster (peregrine*labs)
Here´s Colin´s reply (with permission to post here):

Hi Tim,
There will be a beta implementation in Yeti 2.1 when released - not 2.0.10
Indeed. Glad they've nailed down compatibility plans (well, beta at least)
to a point release.

Some of the guys at one of my clients were testing cycles vs redshift..
Weird thing is, Cycles kicked redshifts butt on some of the tests, and

That's interesting! Did you/they test any large data sets? Supposedly, one
of the strengths of Redshift is
Hi Gerbrand.
Did you consider the cloud rendering solution that's integrated in
Houdini Indie? It's not free, but it's very easy to use. I have used it
last summer for a personal project and i could use 13 machines to render
the 13 frames I needed. The only problems I found was that I had to fi
Houdini indie has alembic export, which you can then import into Octane
standalone.

Hey guys
I'm still on about this shit :)
So Cycles is impressive!! And free, so setting up a farm is about
finding computers and that's it :)

I know that Redshift's requirement is that the strands be set to segment.
If they are any other setting then they don't render. I have not tried
this in Blender, yet. It is on my list of stuff I need to do.
That's all I know. Sorry.

Just to correct you here Stephen, Redshift has been able to render other
shaped strands for a long time (18 months at the very least).
It was very picky for a while about having the necessary clean and valid
StrandOrientation and StrandSize attributes and the like, which might have
been why yours
Thanks for the update. Good to know.
