How to Use VDB Files in Blender

Open Blender 3.6+ and toss that default cube. Go to File > Import > Volume (dot vdb) and load a VDB, like a cloud or explosion. I flubbed my first import—check your file path, yo, or you’ll be raging!

In Shading, add a Principled Volume node to Material Output’s Volume input. Set density (0.1–0.5) and scatter color to white for clouds or orange for fire/explosions.

Add a Sun Light (5000K) and an HDRI from CGHEVEN. Use Cycles, crank samples to 256+, and hit F12. Your scenes will slay like Dune!

Render Tips for Killer VDBs

• Low step rate (0.05) for crisp clouds or explosions.
• Density range (0.1–0.5) for wispy clouds or fiery blasts.
• High samples (256+) for smooth, cinematic renders.
• Cycles only; Eevee’s trash for volumetric VDBs.
• Test with 128 samples to save render time.
