VRayVolumeGrid GPU preview

[Oleg_Budeanu]

Hey
For some reason i cannot activate GPU preview for VRayVolumeGrid. I am using 3.30.03 , that is available only on .04 version or i miss something ?

Which 3ds Max viewport are you using? I think it works only in Nitrous.

You need max 2015 or later... max 2016 preferably. The older versions don't have the needed APIs.

Works in 2016. Though does not looks like Lele's preview at all But that's maybe because i am using pre-baked VDB from Houdini , not Phoenix.

You will need to adjust the rendering parameters based on your setup in Houdini.
