Thanks Alex! It looks like OpenVDB 12 also switches the Python bindings from pybind11 to nano bind - do you know how that affects our interoperability bindings in https://github.com/ImageEngine/cortex/blob/main/src/IECoreVDB/bindings/IECoreVDBModule.cpp?

Good question, I can tell you it still compiled fine but I'll do some closer testing here or run the unit tests.

Turns out Cortex just silently didn't build OpenVDB from the logs. I started to make a NanoBindConverter.h and some plumbing for nanobind however I can't quite get the casting right and the porting guide from their documentation isn't too clear to me (I've made comments to those parts).
