how to load the vdb

[excentriPMNA2]

I made the vdb sequence in the houdini.

The file name is flame.001.vdb, flame.002.vdb, flame.003.vdb, etc.

in Maya, i made arnold's volume node.

in attribute editor in the volume node, i specified the flame.001.vdb in the Filename attribute .

but any sequence didn't load.

Put an =frame expression in the Frame attribute.

Once you put the expression like Stephen Blair mentionned, you have to change the numerical padding from file.000.vdb to file.###.vdb
heat and fuel Grids make the BBOX disappear from Maya viewport.
