I am trying to export my Pyrosolver to a series of .vdb files. It renders all the way up to my final file cache - from there, I don't get anything. How can I export a file cache from the Pyrosolver with .vdb files? I've attached screenshots of my node setup, VDB node, and final file cache (the file cache that is attached to the VDBConvert).

@w_maro, that's so strange! What os are you on?

So it renders in Houdini when you have the view flag on? Or do you only get the .vdb files?

My nodes were in the wrong order -- I changed it to this and it worked! Thank you for your help.
