Hi Everyone,

Forgive my lack of being up-to-date on all of the latest changes with Version 3.0, but is there a way of generating a z-depth pass with a .vdb volume? I'm still pretty new to the whole process but I was able to get a cloud .vdb from houdini to 3ds max, however aside from the beauty pass nothing appears in the info channels. Perhaps this is a known characteristic of openvdb or maybe i'm missing something going from houdini to Max. Any input or advice on achieving a depth pass for a volume file to composite inside after effects would be greatly appreciated. Thx!

Haven't had much chance to test out different possibilities, but would the new deep pixel option allow for compositing in after effects with volumes? Primarily want to use Frischluft Lenscare to work with various simulations.
