Hey, I've been trying to use the VDB Reshape SDF node, but it's not working, and kicking up this error for me:

“VDB primitive density was skipped because it is not a level-set grid.”

Can anyone tell me what that means, and how to solve it? Thanks!

VDB Reshape SDF SOP works only on SDF (signed distance field) aka Levelset volumes

that warning just means that you are trying to run it on density/fog volume or that at least some of the volume primitives in your geometry are density/fog volume

work around is to convert to vdb,class fog to vdb then do the operation then convert class back to vdb to fog.
