Labs Volume Texture

Labs ROP Volume Texture SOP is part of the FREE and open-source toolset in Houdini called SideFX Labs. This tool is useful for converting volumes into textures that can be used in a real-time engine. Instead of creating a custom 3D texture, it outputs a 2D texture that can be read by all engines and then processed as volumetric data in real time.
