Hi there!



I was experimenting with the new NanoVDB stuff in 18.5-- following this tutorial:

I've realized that my machine doesn't seem to solve the simulation anywhere near real-time, maybe a few seconds per frame-- even though I'm running on a brand new RTX 3080 Ti.

Is there some weird driver thing I need to fix-- or anyone else had issues like this? "Minimal OpenCL Solve" is checked-- but my GPU hovers around 5% usage the whole time.



thanks!

Hi there!



I have a FLIP + whitewater simulation I'm putting together and trying to figure out what's causing these popping artifacts in the simulation? They seem to show up every time I try to start playing with whitewater! It looks almost like the foam is reseeding or something... Any ideas?



Preview attached-- thanks for any guidance!

Are you hitting the edge of your smoke object's container? The automatic resizing node sometimes needs some adjustments and may accidentally clip your sim at the edges.
