Hey guys, I'm decently new to houdini(I know the ui and node structure and basic nodes) and I'm currently working on a chimney sim and the smoke isn't colliding for somereason, even though the vdb looks to be solid...

Under smoke_2



Thanks in advance!

You did not post the model, so I just added a tube, there is not need to convert to polys and then back to vdb again not sure what you were trying to do there, but with a simple tube its working fine.

Sorry, here is the model, .

I followed what some people on reddit suggested, I think it was tosealthe holes or smth, not rlly sure lol. Ill take a look and see what I can learn from this

The geo node is Pyro_billowy_smoke and chim_2

Thanks

EDIT: Oh dang, didn't know files weren't packed with the file...

Here you go, you gotta expand the voxel data - basically increase the narrow band of active voxels around a surface so you get more accurate collision detection. You can see what the collision field is doing by checking the field guides. Also, your scale was super tiny.

Ohhhh, I see, what scale would you recommend, and how would I check it?

Thank you so much!!!!!
