Install VDB Packs

After completing the installation of the TrueVDB addon, follow these instructions to install the content packs:

Click the Import VDB Pack button to install the content.

Import Selection

You can select multiple pack zips (this is in-fact advised) to import at any given time. Multi-selection ensures that all content is installed as intended and files aren't missing which can lead to errors

TrueVDB Pack File Sizes:ΒΆ

Pack Name Uncompressed Size
TrueVDB Standard 10+GB
TrueVDB Explosions 75+GB
TrueVDB Fire 30+GB
TrueVDB Magic 24+GB
TrueVDB Weather 28+GB

All files related to TrueVDB should be left Zipped

Unzipping the files will result in the addon not working. You must leave the contents zipped and ensure that you install all content packs or errors will occur.

Do not close Blender during this process

Closing Blender can cause data loss and/or corruption. Allow the process to finish as it should; which you can monitor by the progress bar in the user prefs.
