Hey guys, I have an alembic file of an animated deforming creature from maya. I am converting it into a VDB volume and applying noise via vop sop. I created a rest.x rest.y rest.z volume to compute the volume rest fields for animation. Now the problem is, after I create these volume rest fields I need to then deform the volume rest fields to match the alembic animation so my rest field will deform along with the geometry and the noise will stick to it without any slipping At the most basic level I can manually keyframe a xform sop, but the noise slips when there is deformation; i.e. this only works with translation or rotation So is there any way to somehow transfer the deformation of the alembic animation over to the volume? I tried transferring density to points, deforming via lattice and then transferring back, but this caused a huge loss of detail/unpredictable results. I also tried transferring volume attributes, along with a thousand other things, with no luck. I posted an example file. Thanks! volume_deform.rar
