VDB selection - nomad - 01-13-2026

Hi,

Is it possible to select part of a VDB object and apply a filter to it.

Thanks

No, VDB filters apply to the entire grid, currently.

Hi,

Is this something we could request?

I'm imagining being able to  select part of a VDB mesh with another object and then applying filters or forces to just that section. It  could also have falloff for soft selection.

Just dreaming.

Thanks

I'm not sure the amount of work required to develop a voxel selection framework is worth it...even if it's something that made it onto my todo list, it's probably not something I would put work into for a long time. There are many more pertinent things on the list at the moment.
