Hey Nick!
I was wondering if it also will be possible to import Houdini VDB’s into Embergen - or does it only work from Embergen to Houdini?
Sorry if this question was already answered in another thread.
Cheers!
Hey Sarah,
We do have plans for a VDB importer but no timeline on that just yet. Likely sometime early next year! See this: https://trello.com/c/rtcjJOob/101-vdb-importer
Thanks,
Nick

What’s the status on this? I need exactly that. I made a Fire sim in Embergen and used “looping sim” to make a looping flipbook. But in Unreal I want to flip my Uvs horizontally after each full loop to break up the repetition of it even further. So that’s why I exported my VDB to houdini and blended the last frames with a mirrored version of my VDB sim. So, that means the first frame would be similar to the last frame except that it is flipped horizontally. Like so, I would be able to flip it in Unreal after each loop to break the repetition even further. But I have sadly not figured out a way to reimport my VDBs that I retouched in Houdini back again into Embergen.
Can you show me how that’s done?
I tried to avoid having to use Embergen as my final step but I really had a hard time trying to recreate the shading From Embergen in Houdini. I got close but not entirely 
Reimporting VDB’s is something that won’t be available in EmberGen until version 2.0 which could be public at the end of this year at the very earliest.
