Hi,

is it possible to have the same options ? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-tIAm2 ... tu.be&t=97

for the moment, the octane volume object is almost useless.

thank you

Hi,

Sorry to hear that you are hearing issues with the current volume features. They are being actively worked on and improved, including full support for Phoenix FD. I will watch the video in full when I get the chance. Please let me know if you have any specific observations or queries (either from your personal use, or impressions from the video).

thank you Azen,

my english is really bad and the video explain by itself ( and better than me) how powerfull those features are.

Do you know if it's possible to convert an object into a fog or volume like this ?

Hi visionmaster, at the moment, some CFD solutions export fluid simulations as volumes, but at the moment, it is not possible to render an openvdb volume as a surface in Octane - we will be looking into doing this in future. For now, it would be best to convert the volume into a mesh for rendering.
