-## Description
+### SFVec3f [ ] **bboxCenter** 0 0 0 <small>(-∞,∞)</small>
+
+Bounding box center accompanies bboxSize and provides an optional hint for bounding box position offset from origin of local coordinate system.

+### SFNode [in, out] **renderStyle** NULL <small>[X3DVolumeRenderStyleNode]</small>
+
+Single contained X3DVolumeRenderStyleNode node that defines specific rendering technique for this volumetric object. If field is not defined, default is OpacityMapVolumeStyle node.
+
+### SFNode [in, out] **voxels** NULL <small>[X3DTexture3DNode]</small>
+
+Single contained X3DTexture3DNode (ComposedTexture3D, ImageTexture3D, PixelTexture3D) that provides raw voxel information utilized by corresponding rendering styles. Any number of color components (1-4) may be defined.
+
+## Advisories
 
 ### Hint
 
-- VolumeData can contain a single Texture3D node with containerField='voxels' and a single RenderStyle node.
+- VolumeData can contain a single Texture3D node with `containerField='voxels'` and a single RenderStyle node.
+
+### Warning
+
+- Requires X3D `profile='Full'` or else include `<component name='VolumeRendering' level='1'/>`
