Hello,

FumeFX 6.1.5 update has been released today and new features include:

- The FFX Burn modifier has undergone a name change to FFX Vertex Test, bringing with it advanced features and performance enhancements. In addition to modifying the vertex color channel, it now has the ability to write to the vertex selection weights channel. New functionality also enables the use of particles and scene objects to adjust vertex channels based on proximity. Alongside its existing capabilities to access FumeFX fire/smoke/temperature channels, this revamped modifier allows for a whole new range of effects.
- Added Particle Skin modifier that supports NodeWorks particle system and groups.
- FFX Vertex Paint modifier becomes FFX Velocity Paint with added paint radius option.

Hello,


FumeFX 6.1.2 update is now available. 
This release introduces a user-friendly Arnold and VRay Volume Grid shader, streamlining the rendering process for volume grids. You can now render FumeFX .vdb caches using Arnold GPU or VRay GPU, with the shader handling Volume Grid path configuration, channel assignments, and automatic synchronization with changes in the FumeFX cache path.

In the FumeFX Arnold/Redshift shader, we've included a button that simplifies the creation of a new Arnold Standard Volume Shader and its automatic assignment to the FumeFX grid.


Additionally, we've introduced a new WW2 Flak explosion preset, complete with an integrated Arnold Standard Volume shader setup.

Introducing our latest FumeFX 6.1.1 update, packed with exciting features and improvements to enhance your workflow:

Quick Presets for Speedy Operations
We've introduced the Quick Presets menu option, designed for a quick start of your NodeWorks setups. With this feature, you can swiftly create and load voxel grids, convert objects to cloth or soft body, set up rigid body dynamics using PhysX or create a complete explosion setup with just one mouse click. Actions are context-sensitive, adapting to the selected objects in your scene, making your work more intuitive and efficient.

Enhanced Disk and Memory Cache Management
We've optimized the disk and memory cache sizes, resulting in smaller file sizes, reduced memory consumption, and faster caching. In scenarios where you're dealing with millions of particles saved to disk, you can expect caching times to be cut in half, significantly boosting your productivity.

Memory Caching Support for Points Display Type
Now, you can take advantage of memory caching support for the points display type within the Grid Display node, allowing for smoother and more responsive interactions with your voxel grids.

Streamlined Voxel Grid Manipulation
Our "Initialize Grid" and "Load Grid" nodes have been enhanced with a convenient "Create Position Helper" button. This feature sets up the Object Info node and point helper, providing you with a quick and efficient way to manipulate your voxel grids with precision.
ISurf, Spline Force, FumeFX Force, 3ds max Forces and Perlin Noise nodes added Grid input pin so that users can easily apply those nodes to entire voxel grid.

Hi,

I created a tyflow1.025 flamethrower but I obtain only ugly fire balls instead of fire....what am I doing wrong please?

Here are my settings :

   

September 6th, 2023 - Sitni Sati releases FumeFX 6.1 for 3ds max®.
We're thrilled to announce the latest update to our 3ds max plugin, designed to supercharge your creative process. Here's what's new:

- We've introduced a powerful memory caching system that covers a wide range of elements, including particles, particle shapes, custom channels, Arnold procedurals, splines, fibers, and voxel grid displays. This groundbreaking feature will revolutionize your NodeWorks workflow, providing a seamless and lightning-fast playbacks right within the 3ds max viewport.

- For users of 3ds max 2023 and newer, we've added GPU viewport display support for the Display Grid node. Now you can harness the full potential of your graphics card and display voxel animation in real-time without waiting for slow disk caches to load.

- Added support for Arnold Procedurals .ass files (Arnold's render proxy) display inside the 3ds max viewport. Arnold Procedural .ass file can contain large set of data, like entire city block, that can be scattered by using the NodeWorks particles and visualized directly inside the 3ds max viewport

Hello!
How do I transfer the license from the old server PC and work PC to a new PC?

I tried the licenses in the member area, but they don't seem to be working.

I used FumeFX 5.0.6 for maya.
Thanks so much.

Hello,

FumeFX 6.0.6 for 3ds max update has been released today.

New Features and Improvements
- .vdb caches loading and saving was updated to OpenVDB 10.0.1 (max 2020 - max 2024).

Fixes
- FumeFX was loading caches even when not needed which have caused viewport lag.
- Birth Surface didn’t set velocities along the surface normal in the case where custom direction was not used.

August 7, 2023 - Get ready to take your visual effects to the next level with the latest release of FumeFX™ 6 for Maya (Windows)! Our brand-new version is packed with new features that will empower you to create mind-blowing cinematic explosions and dynamic simulations like never before. Unlock unparalleled creativity, realism, and control over your simulations with FumeFX 6!



Explosion Preprocess Option
Are you aiming for that Hollywood-level explosion in your scenes? Look no further! With the new Explosion Preprocess option, you have the ultimate tool for advanced shading and rendering of cinematic explosions, seamlessly integrated with the Arnold renderer. Elevate your explosions to a whole new dimension of realism and visual impact.

Looking to buy/try Dreamscape but I can only see links to FumeFX, is it now bundled with FumeFX?

Hello,

New FumeFX 6 update has been released.

FumeFX 6.0.5 update solves many important issues that were resulting in incorrect and inconsistent NodeWorks simulations.
In this update we have added pins color coding according to the pin data type which can be enabled or disabled from the Customize Editor options. Output pins for nodes with multiple outputs are now sorted according to the pin data type.

This is also an important feature update with four completely new nodes: Voxel to Spline node that generates splines based on grid velocities, Spline Gen node that allows particle creation on NodeWorks splines as well as 3ds max shapes, Cross Prod and Dot prod nodes for faster handling of two common vector operations. In addition to new nodes, there were additions, changes and fixes to other nodes as well.
