[Step-By-Step] VDB Morph!
Added 2023-03-01 10:08:34 +0000 UTCHeyya guys! Staring this month early :)
First tutorial of the month was actually requested in our Discord, and the technique is inspired by XK Hublot | Sapphire Rainbow where the watch frame emerges from the glass cube. This VDB morph setup is super versatile and I can't wait to see what you guys will create using this technique!
P.S. I was too excited so apologize for a bit loud audio and yes yes yes i know there is a typo in the intro :DDD

Hey Nick, I tried this technique with different geometry, and I'm getting a flickering on the mesh that morph into. Would you know how to solve it? Here's a test render, if you look at the rock you'll see what I mean. Thanks! https://www.dropbox.com/s/5agkmys0o07zvxo/vdb_morph_v2.Redshift_ROP2.mp4?dl=0

2023-04-13 13:40:23 +0000 UTCyeah it is wayyy faster
2023-04-10 09:42:45 +0000 UTCNot sure about C4D, haven't used it for quite some time :(

2023-03-03 12:30:30 +0000 UTCHey Nick, great stuff ! Just a heads up, you should try to put the vdb morph in a sop solver it's gonna be muuuuuch faster ^^

2023-03-01 17:39:30 +0000 UTCOkay, that makes sense. Any example where "out color" wouldn't work (at least the way it is supposed to)?

2023-03-01 14:57:14 +0000 UTCThanks a lot man! Well, Out Color means you output vector, Color, or Velocity, or P, for example, and Out Scalar means you output int or float basically. Because I had color from black to white, which is 0,0,0 to 1,1,1, I went with scalar, but no big diff here :)

2023-03-01 14:48:45 +0000 UTCReally useful tutorial once again, Nick :) Although I got one question in mind. At 30:30min you use "Out Scalar" instead of "Out Color" for the mask. Why is that? what's the actual difference between those two? I have always just used "Out Color", so now I'm wondering.
