Open VDB support

[Muadib]

dear corona team,

i was wondering if there is any possibility to have a sort of openvdb support?
currently i am able to use phoenix fd to import vdb but need to mesh it in order to use custom material.
since i am not on the dailies, cant really test it out.

long story short. pretty please? it would open max up significantly.

patiently awaiting the v1, and best of luck to you all.

+1
   This could be cool. For Corona and Max. :)

i hope the fact there was no reply to this means the ability to import volume data to be used with the corona volume shader is a given.
would not hold my breath it will be implemented by autodesk.

[Muadib]

i really have to bump this up.

can we please have some insight into the open vdb status?
its fine if there are no plans to support it, but it would be really good to know.

thanks

I'm pretty sure there are plans to support it, but yeah, confirmation wouldn't hurt.

+1 to request.

+1 , really necessary

+100 Bump !! for Houdini's VDB render into the Max ... [same as V-Ray volume grid]

Even new FumeFX 4.0 supports OpenVDB. Would love to have VDB support in corona renderer.

Since vray's vdb support is broken (no sparse volumes supported until now) this would be great :)

+1 needed asap

[maxpyane_2k5]

Can you at least make v-ray volume grid compatible with corona renderer? Please :)

[Muadib]

i have to admit being pretty bummed out about no info on vdb.
is this feature anywhere on the roadmap? can we please get any sort of info?

having volume support and not being able to import vdb honestly hurts.

[Ondra]

not on the roadmap yet, we now focus more on archviz/design features

[Muadib]

thank you for the reply.

But what if we want our archviz buildings to be burning?
