I am trying to place a few smoke vdbs around my scene.

I can't see any way to move the vdb file in octane SA though....

I was hoping I could use the transform gizmos or a 3d transform node but there is no pin for transformations in the VDB node and the gizmos do not appear in the render view when the vdb is selected.

Thankyou. Your website is looking great. There are a lot of useful tips for Standalone workflow.

I have used Octane in C4D and Maya since v2 but only recently picked up Standalone again so it is really useful to have this guide to refer to.

Keep up the good work!
