How can we make the ActionVFX library more useful to you?

The more specific you are, the better we can help you. Try using the tags (2D, 3D, VBD, etc) so we so organize these requests for our creators.

blender VDB is not linked correctly

Greetings, I downloaded the free Blender explosion VDB described in https://youtu.be/3DFteGwtky8?si=C_LiBPScTnd2Km-d. When I unpacked the ZIP and opened the VDB, the explosion was invisible, and several other comments in the youtube mention the same thing. To solve the problem, in Blender do the following after opening the blend file: click on the Gas Explosion in the outliner go down to the Properties “Data” tab (it will have a green cloud icon) Here you will find a field that says “OpenVDB File”. It will say (incorrectly) X:\3D ASSETS\3D FX\Free_VDB_Shaders\VDB Samples\Gas_Explosion_06_LOD0_0050.vdb because I believe the blender file was saved with absolute pathnames instead of relative pathnames Click on the folder icon next to the pathname. It will pop up an Open File dialog. Navigate to where you extracted the ZIP file (for me it was C:\Users\userid\Downloads\ActionVFX_Free_VDB_Shader_3D0114_LOD0\) Navigate into the subdirectory called VDB Samples Click on the Gas_Explosion_06_LOD0_0050.vdb file and press Accept Now you will see the gas explosion since now it is linked to the VDB file you downloaded and not to a nonexistant file on someone else's X: drive Hope this helps!

Gobo

Hey yall, sorry if this has been suggested before, I didnt dee any. Would be cool to get some moving gobo plates of things like tree shadows, window grates, frames, stained glass, caustics, etc. Also get some color temps in there. I often use a projector for this stuff but am limited to creating my own or grabbing ultra low quality stuff off the internet. Thanks much!!

Explosions filmed in the air

If you look at the current practical explosion assets from ActionVFX, you'll see that either the smoke is transparent (Volume 1) or the bottom of the explosion is flat (Volume 2, Volume 3) What I'm requesting is practically filmed explosion assets that are, if possible, filmed with the camera in the air slightly, so the bottom is kinda rounded so it blends into footage easier.

Fabric Bullet Hits

Now that the film industry is moving further and further away from practical squibs and muzzle flashes (due to safety guidelines, etc), it would be great if we could get a pack of fabric squibs / fabric bullet hits to round out the bullet wound trifecta of blood mist, blood burst and bullet impact. It would be great if this pack includes front entry and exit wound versions on various fabrics at various calibers. To be clear, this would be a pack of just bullet entries and exits on fabric to be used in concert with blood mists and blood bursts for more control in the composite.
