Hi Jim,

For the volume gradient I can't plug any colour and is not working for the Maya fluids.
I know is a working progress but it was working before. Should I use a other version of the plug?

Best,
JO

@JimStar,
I confirm the Octane Volume Gradient is broken, colors are not rendered.
This is because of the texture component you added to the compound attribute.

Sorry if I was not clear enough previously :
In standalone we can connect textures in the gradient node, not in the volume gradient node.
