    Hi,

    I was looking for a way to convert OpenVDB format into a Unity 3D texture asset. I've stumbled upon this:

    https://github.com/karasusan/OpenVDBForUnity

    But I was unable to open that project, I'm not sure what steps I should make. Does it work for anyone else?

    Hi! Did you end up figuring this out? Unity supports importing Texture3D in a streamlined way now so I think all you would need is an exporter that transforms an OpenVDB file into a texture atlas: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Texture3D.html

    Ideally you'd be able to export things like color and density to textures in this format. Has anyone already written something like this for OpenVDB files for other tools that could be reused for Unity?

    Hi, sorry for a late reply. Yes, I've managed to open that project and make it convert vdb into a unity 3DTexture. It was a long time ago though.
