1) Smoke color; Simulation

[BaldEagle]

1) Smoke color that I select in the Render tab doesn't render anything except black. This hasn't happened before.

2) When I run the sim, smoke and fire show in the preview window, The mr renderer shows fire and smoke as just a black blob. An error message -- 448 MB error: Object < FumeFX001 > has invalid texture vertices and may not render correctly.

I'm running 3.5.2 with Max 2013.

Help would be appreciated

Thanks.

Hello,

If you add the sphere in the scene and using standard Omni light - it will also render black (at least it does here).. unless you choose "Non Physically Based Lighting".
