OpenVDB
In this glass, the VDB file is a volume database file created by OpenVDB, an open source C++ software library used to create special effects in DreamWorks Animation movies.
Open VDB allows animators a simple way of creating volumetric effects like smoke and other amorphous materials whose mathematical model is complex.
In this sense, the VDB file contains the necessary data to simulate said volumetric effects, be it clouds, uncontained water and smoke, or represent a surface, such as the ocean or lava.
OpenVDB is used in various feature films, short films, and television series.
Some of the titles where the VDB file has been used successfully are:
- How to Train your Dragon 2
- The Croods
- Puss in boots
