Description

Provides libraries and tools for sparse volumetric data on three-dimensional grids. Visual effects, animation, simulation, and scientific applications use it for smoke, clouds, fluids, signed distance fields, and other volume data.

Use it when creative or scientific software needs efficient storage and processing of large volumes. It is a production pipeline component, not a separate drawing or animation application.
