Get Named Grid Node

The Get Named Grid node retrieves a specific voxel grid from a volume geometry by its name. Each volume object can contain multiple grids (for example, density, color, temperature, or velocity), and this node allows accessing one of them for further processing in the node tree.

The retrieved grid can then be sampled, modified, or converted to geometry using other grid or SDF nodes.

Inputs

Volume

The input volume geometry that contains one or more named grids.

Name

The name of the grid to retrieve from the volume. The name must match an existing grid stored in the volume data block.

Remove

When enabled, removes the grid from the volume after it has been retrieved. This can be useful when restructuring volume data to avoid duplication or manage memory more efficiently.

Properties

Data Type

The type of data stored in the grid (e.g. Float, Integer, Boolean, or Vector). Determines both the expected data type of the Grid output and how it can be used in subsequent nodes.

Outputs

Volume

The resulting volume geometry after optionally removing the retrieved grid.

Grid

The extracted grid corresponding to the given Name and Data Type. This grid can be passed to other nodes such as Sample Grid or Grid to Mesh for further manipulation or conversion.
