n this tutorial I am going to show you how to import any 3D data arrays into Blender and render them as volumes. This is now possible because the python module pyopenvdb is now pre-packaged with Blender version 3.5, The pyopenvdb module allows you to create openvdb files from numpy arrays and import them into your blender scene. This new feature is going to be great for scientists who want to display their scientific data in Blender. It will also be great for Blender add-on developers who want to create custom volumes from python code. Examples of this code can be found in my open source MedBlend Add-On for Blender. (Still in Development) https://github.com/drmichaeldouglass/MedBlend
