(fixed)[HOU-3450]Volume Grid SOP ignores "Forced Object" render visibility.

[benfox]

Just a fast post, to hopefully smooth out the volume grid implementation. I am using Houdini 19.0.657 and trying to render volumes. As a side note, I couldn't get the aur convert SOP to actually export converted aur from vdb. But I got my volumes converted and loaded with the volumeGrid SOP. Everything looks good in the viewport, but it will only render if the object is visible at the object level. I use forced objects for my ROPs and have minimal objects displayed. But I couldn't get it to render without having the actual object visible. I even tried adding the Vray object attributes to get it to render without needing to be visible. But it didn't work. If I toggled the render flag in the same object to the vdb and assigned a material with density mapped (instead of the Smoke_phx mapping for the aur render) it would render as expected without needing to make the object visible.
The aur does render with the object displayed.

Hi benfox I've reproduced and reported the problem. I'll write you here once it is fixed.
