VDB Hell Rider -- why no flames?

RandWulf

Why, when applying VDB Hell Rider to G9, it only renders as black smoke, no flames?  I apply the materials as advised in the TIP, but it only comes out as smoke.

There is another product in the store from the same authors stating: NOTE: To get the most out of this product it's best to use the BETA version of Studio. https://www.daz3d.com/vdb-hellish-skies Maybe it's the same with https://www.daz3d.com/vdb-hell-rider Rendering flames inside a VDB started with DAZ Studio 4.21.1 Beta

VDB emission is currently only supported in the current beta, not the general release.

And an update today for Studio, plus more products. Does this solve the problem?

Personally, I don't suggest update General Release at this moment. Install a Public Build instead.

If you DO wanna update your General Release, well backup the IM package of 4.21.0.5 and all the plugins if you got the pushed Updates in DIM, before downloading.
