hey all,
Heads up--in preparation for the OpenVDB Course at Siggraph, I've updated the examples HIP and it's now live on the website. A few updates throughout, but the big changes are new sections for extrapolation and AX. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to see anything else.
https://www.openvdb.org/download/ [www.openvdb.org]
This Houdini HIP file demonstrates many of the nodes in the toolkit and illustrates fundamental concepts such as OpenVDB tree structures, tiles and voxels, narrow-band level sets and fog volumes. More importantly, it presents recommended workflows for common tasks like particle surfacing, polygon conversion, fracturing, filtering, resampling, extrapolation, etc. The current hip file is tested with Houdini 19.5 and OpenVDB 9.1.

thanks for the updating the examples, super useful
I don't have openVDB from github installed so obviously those operators became Merge SOPs, however I'm noticing many more nodes being replaced with Merge SOP than just the green ones
here is a list of nodes I noticed were replaced with Merge SOP, and not marked green
many of them even have name that's consistent with equivalent Houdini node, but maybe was using github definition
would it be possible to have those updated also to use Houdini nodes whenever it makes sense or marked as green if there is no equivalent?

Could you do two versions? One with vanilla, one with your current opensource ones?
I regularly compile the latest 9x and 10x openVDB for houdini, and we defo can do that at the Studio, so it would be a
shame to lose updated workflows that use these nodes.
Cheers,
L

lewis_TI was only asking to replace open-source with native for nodes that have been already added to native and have functional parity so the example would work the same
it would be a
shame to lose updated workflows that use these nodes.
Opensource nodes that don't have parity and show new capabilities should of course stay, but should be marked green
So I personally don't think 2 versions of each setup are necessary

Another update is available today! Took a while (to make sure I didn't break anything), but I've scrubbed the file and swapped everything I could to native SOPs.
A few opensource nodes/workflows remain (demonstrating new or slightly-different functionality), but I've tried to create parallel native workflows when possible.
