PhoenixFD to Arnold Volume (Standard Volume shader)

[teamSP26J]

Hi, are there any people rendering PhoenixFD .vdb volumes? I followed the one and only tutorial from chaos groups site and it works for the basic fire and flames. When I wanted to do more of a gas explosion I figured I have to feed the Fuel values instead of temperature to the Volume Sample Float node. But now I would like to use the grid RGB to color the smoke. Trying to use it as a scatter color but it doesn't seem to work.

Could you please share your workflow with Standard Volume shader ?

I used PhoenixFDTexmap for coloring liquids but it doesn't seem to work with Standard Volume, so I am trying Volume Sample RGB with channels (ColorR_phx,ColorG_phx,ColorB_phx)

Did it work? I usually render fire or smoke, but I am curious to know if your solution works for liquids.

Liquids are fine, you just make a clone of a Phoenix container (so there is no circular reference) and pick this clone as a source for PhoenixFDGridTex and then plugin it to your liquid shader.

For GridRGB coloring the volume I tried this setup:

Multiplied the ColorR_phx x ColorG_phx x ColorB_phy and plugged them into scatter color.

Thanks for sharing this. I will save it for future projects.

Alright I have tried another setup, pluging the separa
