Hi,

I have a container and want to fill it with FLIP. I use VDB for collision because it's fast. But, after I set up the scene, my container always leaks fluid, anything wrong with my VDB collision setup or anything wrong with my container topology?

Thanks!

Without having seen your file, VDBs can be dangerous for collision because they only store a narrow band of data around your geometry. You should try to make sure you are doing a thicker than default band, or convert to Volume and reinitialise the SDF.

Hope I'm not misreading your issue!

Thanks, jason! It works. I created a thicker proxy object, convert it into VDB volume, and use it as proxy volume in DOP.

However, I have a new problem now, how to parent the proxy object to my cup, so the proxy object can move with the cup? I used the Shelf Tool “Parent”, but it failed.
