Hi,

Is there currently any support for loading .vdb files in vtk.js. I have seen examples for c++ but non for VTK.js.

Thanks.

Welcome to VTK, @scottm .

There is not a way to view OpenVDB files directly in vtk.js. You would need to convert it to an image volume format vtk.js does read, such as a .vti file.
