Thanks for the reply!
Ad 1. It makes sense that data is not loaded until requested but isn't calling GetVelLocal actually a function which should force velocity data to load? You always call this function when you need Velocity data to be loaded so it kind of implies that it should be loaded.
Ad 2. I'll give it a try, thanks.
Ad 3. Is there any C++ documentation anywhere on how I could retrieve fumefx data this way? I guess it is all saved within fumefx files but I know nothing about this file format. I think I could save to VDB and read it from VDB but this feels like an unnecessary step to take especially that the data is already there?
