FFX distributed sim - Wasus - 05-12-2011
Hi there!
I have one hardcore scene, done with FumeFX 2.1c and I have five (or more) very powerfull machines...Is there any solution to simulate my scene on this farm, using FFX?
I know, that FFX allow to submit one sim job on the one machine using Backburner mode and FFX SL...
One my coworker told me, that he can run FFX sim on one computer, which added resources of others computers to own resources and all works fine usinf Backburner and FFX SL....is it joke???
I understand, that, logically, I can't simulate some frames on the farm, couse each frame simulated one by one, step by step! BUT!!! When ALL farm simulate ONE frame....it's sounds good )))
Regards
Vasiliy

Hello,
Yes, that sounds very good, but unfortunately, not possible at this point.
With a large scene, it will cause network to crawl.

Thnx for you reply, Kresimir
You said, that distrib sim not possible at this point - is it means, that in nearest future all users of FumeFX can get distrib sim???
I've heard, that guys from SideEffects Software have some tools to do distrib sims, but it is very difficult to understand, how they solved it, couse each voxel in grid depends from other voxels...I know, that main sim goes on one machine, but upres (like Wavelet turb) can be simulated using distrib mode.
So, if distrib sim not possible at this point for FumeFX, maybe, wavelet post process can get distrib mode in future?
And I have one more question!

How we can get all this details in one sim? Or it's multiple sim with many-many grids in one scene?...
Regards!

Can't tell much about distrib sims at this point as nothing has been decided.
As for that smoke scene, believe it or not, it's just one grid but I haven't seen that .max file how it's done.
