Fumefx 5.0 Maya - Asger - 06-07-2018
Hi, I'm just wondering if you can give us an update on the Maya port for Fumefx 5.0. I know it's tricky to estimate, but we are going into an R&D fase over the summer, and it would be wonderful if that could involve FumeFX 5.
Best Regards, Asger
Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - sitnisati - 06-07-2018
Hello Asger,
That's really hard to tell.
Right now we're improving nParticle support and Arnold shader and as soon those two are done, we'll be close to release.
Best regards,
Kresimir Tkalcec
Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - Asger - 06-07-2018
Allright, that's great to hear though. I was worried that viewport 2.0 was causing trouble. (nParticles can be a pain in maya as it is, so any help from third parties is much appreciated
)We will wait. Thanks for the update
Best regards, Asger

Oh, those are great news

Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - keithb - 10-29-2018
Hey guys just installed this....but when I go to render, I get nothing when rendering with Arnold. Is there anything particular I need to do to get it to render?
I'm using Linux. I get no errors...just black, and nothing in the alpha. I've selected arnold shader in the dropdown but all options are greyed out. I tried placing an arnold volume shader on the fume fx node but nothing...
Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - sitnisati - 10-30-2018
Hello Keith,
If you keep the FumeFX Standard Shader, you will also need to download and install FumeFX-Arnold shader installer.
If using the FumeFX Arnold shader, please consult the help file.
http://docs.afterworks.com/FumeFX5maya/ ... Volume.htm
For debugging, in Arnold Diagnostics set Verbosity to "Info" and send the Output Window information.

Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - keithb - 10-30-2018
Hi Kresimir,
Yep, I've downloaded and installed the FumeFX-Arnold shader.
It's in /path/to/MtoA/shaders/
6943258 Oct 22 12:21 FumeFXShader.so
and the extensions are in:
/path/to/MtoA/extensions/

Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - sitnisati - 10-30-2018
Hello,
1: [mtoa] No light in scene
Do you have any light in the scene?
Can you see anything in alpha channel?
Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - keithb - 10-30-2018
Hi even with a light in there still nothing, nothing in alpha.
Can we send a scene?
Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - sitnisati - 10-31-2018
Yes, please.
You can attach the scene to this topic or email us at support@afterworks.com
Thank you.
Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - vtrockin - 11-03-2018
I had a similar problem...not sure if same thing. I installed FumeFX5.0, and the FumeFX Arnold shader. Then I realized I didn't have updated Arnold 5.2.0.0 installed. I install new mtoa and I didn't get a render. I had to repair/reinstall the FumeFX Arnold Shader AFTER mtoa install and it worked.
Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - keithb - 11-05-2018
Hmmm we are using Arnold core 5.1.0.1. Would that be a problem?
Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - sitnisati - 11-05-2018
Yes, that might be the problem as Arnold 5.2 is an SDK break.

Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - keithb - 11-07-2018
Yes this works in the latest version of Arnold. Hurrah!
Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - sitnisati - 11-09-2018
Thank you for the feedback!
Best regards,
Kresimir Tkalcec
Re: Fumefx 5.0 Maya - glasseye - 11-14-2018
I'm also having problems -
MtoA - latest version. installs Arnold Core 5.1.1.1
Just to be clear - to get arnold rendering I do have to install SDK?
