Hi,

Is it possible to select all the ojects associated with an object source?

I have a scene with particles and a fume simulation, now I want to render the scene with matte/shadow material on the ground plane so I have used VrayMtlWrapper as material. But the fire is not visible were ground plane cover the FumeFX see atteched, Is it something I missed to uncheck or check?

It seems that when using maxscript to set the path to an existing simulation you can get the following querybox:
---------------------------
Grid dimensions does not match
---------------------------
Do you want to match FumeFX grid to the one in the file?
Usually, Yes means that you want to use existing output files,
No means that you want to overwrite them with the new simulation,
and pressing Cancel will allow you to select another file.
---------------------------
Yes No Cancel
---------------------------

It would be great to be able to specify which option you would like to choose using the function... something like:
$.setpath "C:\Fume\Sim_.fxd" "default" matchGrid:true

Hi,

I am getting this error at a particular frame.

wat is this error about? I am not able to simulate further or do continue simulation.

"cannot find data to continue. pls check the preferences dialog."

Regards.

hi,

what are things to be considered when creating thick smoke having lots of details. I m getting the thick smoke but lacking the details on the blobs its forming. i have bumped up the temperature and vorticity. Also theres no noise influence cause somehow its making it to wispy smoke.

If anyone can send a test maxfile for the understanding that had be great.

Regards.

Hello,

There might be some changes in installation and we are looking for your feedback.
The general idea is to remove SL as a separate installation.
Instead, during the installation, user will choose weather they want to install Full or SL.
This choice will be written to the FumeFX.ini file and used by FumeFX to determine in what regime to operate.
Changes in ini file will determine weather FumeFX will start in a Full mode or SL mode.

Thank you,

Kresimir

I've accidentally installed the SL license on the DCPFlics server machine with only ONE of the 2 purchased serial numbers.

How do I get the second simulation license set up?

I have one full license and one SL available to me now, but I'd like to get the second one that we purchased.

Thanks
Conrad

Update:
Upon installing the 2.1a update, I just re-authorized the SL licenses CORRECTLY this time
All good now

Hi,

Is this normal that my afterburn 4.0c is listed as 4.0b (in the windows program control panel)?

I am trying to Xref in a simple FumeFX grid with source and simulation. 3dsMax2011 and FumeFX2.1

Its in the scene but I can´t see it when I render... But if I merge the FumeFX It renders fine.

Is there a workareound?

And if I have a simulation for example for a torch and have a scene with alot of torches and don´t want to simulate them all. I can´t seem to instance them only copy them...
Can I randomise simulation start frame so every torch looks a little bit different?

Cheers

Have run into this before with both fumefx and afterburn. Seems random, however this time we have not been able to get it working.

Windows XP 64bit
3dsmax 64bit
Internet explorer
numerous reboots
firewall/av disabled

Either via manual method or via TS interface, prompts are followed and continually:
[localhost] Trying to connect...
[localhost] License does not exist

Please advise. Thx very much.
