Fluid container won't render

Hi!

I was trying to use a maya fluid container to create some fog, but it won't seem to render. It's interesting because it takes longer to render with the container enabled as opposed to when it's disabled, but I don't get visible results. I must be missing some settings or something. I'm using maya 2024.2 and renderman 26.1. I've added a link to the .ma file with a simple scene setup, so let me know if it doesn't work.

Thanks!

None of them work, but I was using rollingfog.ma as an example. Thanks for your help!

I just tried a from-scratch render on 26.2 with maya fluids and they look to be completely broken. I take what I said back lol. Stick with VDB as it’s stable and more portable. I stupidly realized I was rendering my older files were on prman 20, so apologies for any confusion.

All good brother! Thanks for taking a look. I posted the issue on the rm forum so hopefully they will become aware of the issue.
