Whats the best way to filling any shape full of smoke (billowy smoke)

I have tried ployextrude “method” but i get leeks and i all so“ tried collide with objects” (scatter) but does not fill the “contours of the shape” very well look like “very blockly voxel graphics ”

is there more accurate way of filling objects with smoke ?

Try this: create your static collision object, animated or still, and then invert the sdf (Collisions tab > Volume > Invert Sign).
I'm o.d.d.
