Volumes are versatile and can be used for some nice effects. So I got excited when I found the sliced data of a very high resolution MRI scan online. That can be turned into a VDB I thought and sat down to come up with a simple setup that imports the data. The .hip relies on standard nodes with a lille Hscript to do the job. Although the SOP loop I use is a little slow, it's not too bad as it only has to run once.
