I am using a the trailsop to accumulate over time a piece of animated geo and converting it to vdb surface to attain its volume it has occupied in the shot.

Though I was wondering if there is a way to convert the poly object to vdb first, then accumulate the volume directly?

You could use a SOP Solver with a vdbcombine inside of it (set to add)
