3Ds Max Arnold

So this guide on the Autodesk site is about generating clouds through a noise and volume shader. I assume since the file is from 2020 max that the Arnold engine is also updated. I'm currently using 2019 attempting to create the same results and getting nowhere. I see that the texture is being applied, but the actual shape of the cloud is non-existent it remains a flat sphere. Does this mean this shader effect is native to 2020 only?

Arnold is developed independent of the Max dev team. You can just download and install the latest Max2A, which features the latest Arnold core. Grab it from here for Max 2019;
