Hi I'm looking for a way to use the Vectron features on a obj model? Or any other 3D model. Or even possibly an animated model that I brought into octane Standalone.

Thanks

You can use a "Mesh volume SDF" node to convert an OBJ to a signed distance field. Then you can combine this with vectron primitives or other SDF objects with the union/subtraction/ink, etc. operators.

Hi I think I got it. It seems it might have been the original model I was trying to use.
Does this process requires the OBJ model to have certain qualifications. Does it need to be a watertight model?
