Hi Jim,

A quick question maybe a request, I was using C4D plug and the option to create volume cubes presets with osl script for displacement on the VDB would be great to have something similar for quick setup the maya fluid grid is terrible and take ages to setup something similar. like the video

Is not a big trouble cause personally I always use VDB generate on Houdini and add as proxy on the scenes, but I was wondering for quick FX would be great.

Best,
JO

Is it possible to restore support for Maya 2014, just like support for 3DS Max 2014 was restored?

Four current/previous versions of Maya are supported at any time by any version of OctaneRender for Maya. For archaic Maya versions please feel free to use older plugin versions, or consider to update Maya to one of recent versions. There are too many significant API changes from old Maya versions incompatible with current plugin's code/features.
