Blender can`t re-time vdb files? wanna slow down smokes.

Playback is linked to Time Remapping, so you can change the New field from 100 to 200 too slow down the playback by 50%. You don’t get actual interpolated new VDBs, but the playback is slower.

Thanks. but this is incredible stupid solution of Blender. 2021 year and Blender can`t retime vdb. they try to do Blender application of 3d industry… I wanna try synchronize retiming alembic file with imported vdb files.

if you guys still need a way to do this, the fastes and simplest way was to
creat an AutoHotkey script to delet every 2 fame (for 2x speedup, or 3,4 …)

Herese a link to the script that I used: https://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/80116-any-way-to-delete-every-third-file-in-a-folder/

after that I used a batch renamer to rename the files in order, so the
seqence works again.

There I used this program: https://www.advancedrenamer.com/download

This is the only viable way that I found that is also pretty quick. it’s a bit hacky thou.

Would love if they would implement a setting to change the VDB sequence speed directly in blender.
