Trying to convert my Houdini volumes to VDB before caching to disk.

In my network after dopIO I have a VDB vector Merge followed by a Convert VDB.

Should I not only see 3 volumes on the VDB vector Merge node >density, vel, temperature?

Right now I see 5 density, vel.x, vel.y, vel.z, temperature.

Convert to vdb first. Vdb vector merge only works on vdb, not Houdini volumes.

the TAB menu tool name seems to be renamed to VDB Vector From Scalar, not sure what was the reason behind it
probably because "merge" terminology is associated with combining inputs? just guessing
