[sitnisati]

Welcome to the FumeFX 5.0 for Cinema 4D beta progam.

FumeFX 5.0 beta has no restrictions or limitations, however the license is limited to 30 days.
If beta will run for more than 30 days, we will extend license only to active beta testers.

Beta 5 installers for Cinema 4D 18,19 and 20 (Windows) can be downloaded from: http://bit.ly/2kIOUnu

Please make sure that you point installer to the Cinema 4D install folder so that plugins will be placed to correct location.

FumeFX 5 for Cinema 4D Beta5 bug fixes and changes :

- Field modifier
When particle modifier with field is applied to FumeFX grid, voxels which are outside of the field range are not calculated correctly.

- Infinite (distant) light
When Rendering FumeFX grid with infinite (distant) light, illuminations was not calculated correctly. There was sudden light change when light object enters/exits FumeFX bbox.

- Deformers are not always applied to FumeFX grid
When deformers are placed above FumeFX grid (as parents) they are not applied to grid and they should be.
Now fixed.

- FumeFX Follow node is not working when velocity channel is not exported in simulation. In this case FumeFX Follow will delete all particles in system.

- FumeFX Spline Follow does not work on animated splines
Now SF should work with animated BSpline however it still does not support linear spline or spline without CVs.
Forum topic: Deformed Spline https://www.afterworks.com/SupportForum ... =18&t=2079

- Arnold export scale
C4D project scale is ok, but when exporting FumeFX to Arnold, TM matrix requires to be scaled with Arnold export scale (now it is fixed).
Fire render intensity, and other FumeFX parameters are still not scaled with C4D and Arnold scale parameters (only FumeFX grid TM matrix is).

- Forum topic: Scene Scale https://www.afterworks.com/SupportForum ... =18&t=2069

- C4DtoA 2.6.0, Arnold core 5.4.0.0

I had to uninstall reinstall FumeFX beta for Cinema 4D, now when I try to authorize beta, it says "serial does not exist"
Please help. Information from you about my beta test included below.
Hello Steve,

Thank you for your participation in FumeFX 5.0 for Cinema 4D beta program.

Your FumeFX C4D Beta serial (valid for 30 days): 3HXPLL33WB

[FX9800]

Same it works once but now the serial code seems to be invalid.

[vfxduo]

I suggest the release of nightly builds to fix little updates, instead of waiting for a new beta to come out, for example, Arnold 2.6.1 doesn't work with beta 5 instead of waiting for beta 6 there should be an update to beta 5 and then main updates should come with beta 6.

Hello,

It's an old sim and very low quality video, but it's very easy - just point two simple sources directly at each other.

We cannot not follow each Arnold update and SDK break, so users will have to stick with the version that FumeFX supports.
As for the minor updates, we can definitely do that in the case of a critical issue that prevents users from working with FumeFX.

Thank you.

Any fix for the "license does not exist" error ?

Any fix for the "license does not exist" error ?

It seems that you might need a new license as the old one has expired ?

I recieved it 12 days ago and the code has to be used in the 5th beta, it''s strange because the connection worked only the first time i entered the code.

Ok, But it didn't really work can you drop a proj file

[luprecht]

I must be doing something fundamentally wrong. I run your "finished tut" files and absolutely nothing happens I running Windows 10, Cinema 4d 20 studio with 16 GB Ram [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Go to general tab. Set the simulation mode and the playback cache to default.

then set the path further down. then Run the simulation.

the 'finished' tutorials assume you have already ran the other steps and already got a bunch of cached files

hello,
is the beta5-period over ?
unable to create a fumefx object, as if there is no valid licence.
thanks in advance!

Same issue, started on the 01/10/2019
The plugin just stopped working while my afterflics shows i have license till 23/10/2019
I can see the plugin in c4d but nothing happens when i click it and scenes with FumeFX elements just load empty plugins where the attribute manager is completely empty when clicking on them.

I have been trying to figure out why for days now but thought that the issue must be on my end because no information regarding the beta ending was released.
So if the beta 5 has ended it would be great to know.

Hello,

I apologize for not getting back sooner.
With beta 5 we are warpping up the FumeFX testing and it's set to expire on October 1st.

We wish to say a big thank you for participation in FumeFX beta testing as there were many bugs that you have reported.
All this work could not have been done without your help. As a small act of gratitude we will award top beta testers with free FumeFX 5.0 Commerical version perpetual license.

Thank you.

Fumefx is not appeared in plugin section. I use Cinema 4D R20.059. Please help me.
Also, I hope Beta 6 can works with X-particles and works with "inside face" selection tag of Voronoi fracture.
