Soup-Dev is truly awesome but again they followed the rental plan which I won’t buy out of principal.

There’s a free option for OpenVDB here - https://github.com/bram0101/openVDB_mayaGUI

what will you do when all the actors of 3d softs will have the same rental thing? will you stop working :stuck_out_tongue: ?

Maybe. I’ve been at this since mid 90’s. I have perpetual software up the gazoo so I can play with that in retirement at some point I hope, won’t be the latest and greatest but the software we all use is so powerful I would take several lifetimes to get bored with it or not be able to make anything you can imagine.

One word: Blender

Then you either pay the rental or stop working. :slight_smile:

the funny part is that you came here saying use blender while actually you can’t do shit with VDBs in blender :joy:.

Only recently they got the import vdb module to be able to render them, (which is already everywhere since ages on every single package).
Basically you simply don’t have all the other nodes you have in the OVDB collection.

As usual every time someone is bringing up the shit with blender they either never really used blender and they are speaking of their asses, or they are using it but don’t know shit about what they are talking about :joy:
