Hello,

Today we have released FumeFX 6.0.3 for 3ds max.
In this third update, since the initial FumeFX 6 release in March 2023, we have added over 20 new features/improvements. New nodes include Text node that allows users to set custom text to the 3ds max Text shape, String node that allows combination of strings, Object Properties node to set hide/freeze/renderable/display as box properties to objects in the scene and Seed node to retrieve particle seed number. We have also updated FumeFX Simple source and Geom source that now have ability do add pressure to the simulation.

Complete list of updates can be found HERE

Hello,

Today we have released FumeFX 6.0.2 for 3ds max.
One of the most important additions for this update is the Explosion Gen particle source node that greatly simplifies creation of procedural explosions with FumeFX. Realistic simulations require attractive and modern looking shading. For this update we have aded Explosion Preprocess options to the FumeFX rendering dialog that enable advanced shading of cinematic explosions.

I seem to be experiencing a conflict when trying to use the plugin combo specified in the subject.

I get this warning when I try running mtoa 4.0.3 (which uses Arnold 6.0.3.0)

Hello,

Sitni Sati releases FumeFX 6.0.1 for 3ds max®.
This update adds new features including 3ds max 2024 support, FumeFX boundless adaptive grid improvements, Gen Surface node particle creation based on texture color, geometry slope and more.

AfterBurn 4.3 update has been released that adds support for FumeFX 6.0 and NodeWorks particles.

March 15, 2023 - Sitni Sati releases FumeFX 6, the latest update of their popular fluid-dynamics plug-in for 3ds Max®.
Development of FumeFX 6 was an immensive task as Sitni Sati expanded FumeFX capabilities with NodeWorks, a node-based multiphysics solution that includes particles, rope, rigid body dynamics, cloth, soft body dynamics, inflatable softbody, voronoi fracture, flock simulation, character animation control, voxel grid manipulation, node based access to FumeFX simulation and sources and many other tools.

NodeWorks provides direct support for Arnold points, splines, instances, custom channels and procedurals which significantly boost productivity and flexibility. In addition to the NodeWorks, Sitni Sati have developed a new vorticity model - Pyro Vorticty that adds fine detail to fire and smoke channels with minimal flow disruption. Also, users can now add pressure to the simulation directly from sources and have more control over the adaptive grid boundaries.

FumeFX fluid dynamics along with NodeWorks provide artists with valuable tool that can create a completely new range of visual effects directly inside 3ds max more efficiently and cost-effective than ever before.

how to install FumeFX6_Beta12  and after flics? is there a tuto?

version 5 is for 3dsmax 2022?

My longtime server finally died and I am moving all licenses to a new server. I was able to activate FumeFX, DreamScape and Afterburn. But when I try to activate the FumeFX SL licenses, it hangs and never works.

   

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I am interested in buying FumeFX for Maya, but have a few questions.
Hi, I am interested in buying FumeFX for Maya, but have a few questions.

1) Would I buy FumeFX 5.0 [maya] Workstation OR FumeFX 5.0 [maya] Workstation and FumeFX Simulation + 5 Shaders bundle?

2) I have an AMD Ryzen 16 core with 64GB of RAM and a GEForce GTX 1080 Graphics Card. Is that sufficient? to run FumeFX or painfully slow?

3) Compared to Maya's Bifrost fluid system to create fire and smoke, is FumeFX more difficult to learn, easier, or about the same? 


Thanks.

Hi,

I'm trying to get Afterburn installed (Max 2022, Win 10) I already have FumeFX installed and running OK.

I ran the installer as an Administrator and it seems to have installed fine. However when I run Max I get the following error:

DLL <C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2022\Plugins\AfterWorks\AfterBurn\Afterburn.dlr> failed to initialize.
Error Code 127 - The specified procedure could not be found.

I've checked the Afterburn plugins folder and there are 4 files there:
ABShadowMap.dlr
AfterBurn.dlo
AfterBurn.dlr
AfterBurnPFlow.dlo

There is no Afterburn in my Environment and Effects dialog. But I do have Afterburn Glow and also Sticky Particles.
