Animated point clouds import Touchdesigner

This is a workaround i use to get vdb files into touchdesigner. I use an Embergen preset and export the simulation data to vdb files;
next i import them in blender, use a single point mesh with the volume to mesh modifier and export an obj sequence; only density information of the vdb files is exported in this example.
obj files have position and normal information no color.
ply files can export color but theres no build in batch export.

then i import the obj sequence in TD for instancing.

… i forgot to mute the sound before recording so… if you don´t like it mute it.
if you like it buy it here:
