Hi, 

This is based on a patch that Lukas Stockner first worked on for level
set rendering, before I took over it and eventually passed it on to
Nathan (who made the branch you linked). It is also based on the openvdb
branch (in Blender) that I worked on. The level set rendering part of
the patch is hackish at best, and I have had a cleaner version for
months, but still has a few hacks. I am (still) a proponent of first
having proper volume object in Blender before considering seriously
implementing OpenVDB level set rendering in Cycles, for obvious reasons
(vulgarly put, level set == surface != volume). For rendering of density
or fog volumes, from smoke simulations, I worked on a better
implementation than that of the openvdb branch, but it still needs to be
finished. 

Regards, 

Kévin.
