I am using a file node to import a Points VDB.
What is the best way to work with a points only VDB?
Is there a way to convert the VDB points to Voxels?

My approach is to convert the VDB points to Geometry points then create Voxels.

Converting from Volume to geometry then back to volumes, seems like an inefficient and wrong way to do this.

Any suggestions on a better way?

Depends on what you want to do
VDB points are just points so geometry and not a volume

So to convert them to volume you need to use some node that does that like Attribute Rasterize

Or do you just want to use underlying VDB grid and fill active voxels with density?

They key thing you said is that VDB points are just points, which is what I was thinking. The VDB is just a container for points that have attributes. It's up to me to group the points and modify them.

That was proxy data. Ultimately, I want to save the VDB from Paraview and visualize the volumes in Houdini. Using things like Temperature to modify the color of the volume.
