I have a mid res. Fume simulation in a 3d Max 2014 scene and I am trying to calculate Final Gather for reuse in render but there seems to be a problem with FumeFX illumination map.
The calculation starts out fine utilizing 100% of the CPU but when looking in the render message window the building of the illumination map stops at 95% and then the CPU drops to 5%.
Then nothing happens for about 15-20 minutes before the illumination map reaches 100% and then the Final Gather calculations starts and finishes within minutes.
Is there something I am missing here or is this normal?
FumeFX 3.5.5
I do not have multiple scatter on
Grid size is 682 x 557 x 666
It has only used 22 out of 32 GB ram so there's plenty left.
Since the txt extension is not allowed I have copied part of the render message here:
