lighting? - davidSchoneveld - 10-04-2013 Whatever I do I can't get maya lights to work on the fume volume. It will never light or self shadow, but it will cast a shadow. What am I doing wrong? Maya 2014. simple test: new scene create fume w/ simple source create poly plane, scale it up sim (48 frames by default) mental ray >features> auto volume on create spot light (use ray traced shadows on by default) uncheck do fire cast shadows (check) receive shadows (check) opacity to 5 (just to make sure there is enough density to catch the light) render what am I missing? I don't see another place to enable lights Re: lighting? - josip - 10-07-2013 Hi David, have you tried connecting FumeFX grid with light in FumeFX Relationship Manager? There should be an icon for FumeFX Relationship Manager in top row of Attribute Editor when FumeFX grid is selected. Regards, Josip Sumecki Re: lighting? - davidSchoneveld - 10-07-2013 I did not, that was (somewhat obviously) it! Thanks! I missed that step. Re: lighting? - josip - 10-09-2013 Hi David, I’m glad I was able to help. Feel free to contact us if you have any further problems. Regards, Josip Sumecki |
