# Volume Export Settings

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Volume export settings** in **Cinema 4D**. They write Volume Builders, Sets and Loaders as OpenVDB (.vdb) files — the standard hand-off of voxel data to renderers and other DCCs.

Volume Export exports all OpenVDB objects that generate or contain a Volume (Volume Builder, Volume Set, Volume Loader, Volume Object) as \*.vdb files.

Detailed information about Volumes can be found [here](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/58086.html.md).
