Hello there!
I want to purchase fumefx very soon but there is a problem that concern me. I heared that fume does not support multiple machines for a single simulation... because the "simulation" time is a big problem... I'm not an expert, and I don't know what computers NASA could use to make the simulation faster... I've seen fumefx on some graphic stations, and it took a very long time to simulate.
So, my question is, how do I improve my "simulation" time, because one single machine isn't the best solution, and I don't think that my machine will do a great job (since I'm totally obsessed with the quality of my animations), even if I have 8GB RAM and a good CPU... I heared people that had to wait 72 hours to simulate 100 frames on a 8GB RAM, Intel Core Quad 9300 CPU machine...
First time I thought that buying other 10 machines with the same configuration will increase the simulation time (using the backburner in 3ds max), but now I see that's not the solution, Witch is then? How money do I have to spend, witch system from another planet do I have to buy? How many, and how do I put those 1000 CPU to work together to simulate one single simulation?
My question could sound stupid for some Hollywood experts guys here that own in their homes the NASA's machines, and keep the secret from us ... I'm not an expert, maybe I didn't understand very well the whole stuff about fumefx...
Thank you!
