Hello,
Karma Uniform Volume Material is a preset around Karma Pyro Shader VOP, which expects a volume with fields like density, temperature, flame and scatter.
If you want to render a mesh as a uniform volume, you need to set a Uniform Volume property, either from Karma Material Properties VOP or from a Render Geometry Settings LOP, and use a Karma Volume VOP as a material.

Did you see the docs I posted? It says its for "rendering uniform constant volumes". Also, the preset automatically sets the uniform volume property. So it was intended for geometry, not volumes.
also did you see how I got the karma pyro shader working with the geo in my video? I just had to change a few things.
The uniform volume preset is a wrapper around the karma volume (which can be used for uniform volumes)
I wonder if this is just a bug?
(thanks for the reply)
