sometimes 3ds shapes do not accept volumetris well. i have only really succeded in getting it to work with basic cubes and spheres. - but im no expert. attached is a 3ds model with a smoke volume applied, as you can see it doesnt quite fill it up. dont know what help this is.

Experience is no substitute for blind faith.
