Differences in simulation (version 3/4 vs 5), how to solve ? - lucvw_1975 - 10-07-2018 Hi, I'm taking Allan McKay's FXTD Mentorship. In his course he is using Fume FX v3.x, while I have bought v5.0.1 (edu version). Everything he does comes out completely different when I do the same, so it has to do with the difference in version (and simulation engine). Is there anyone who can help me out ? Someone who knows how to "translate" v3 or v4 to v5 ? So I can get the proper results. For example: in his duststorm lesson, the smoke should be billowing (I hope this is the right word), while in my case it looks like big scoops of ice-cream (very rounded with very few differences in color/shadows so it looks flat, it's difficult to explain). Here some examples, the first how it should be, the second how my simulation renders out Any help is welcome. Thanks !

Hmm, that's a pity. I already asked Allan to update his lessons to FFX5, but he says it's too much work, while the base of it stays the same. His helping hand also said that he gets proper results in FFX5 by just changing a few values, but he doesn't tell me what changes he made, so I'm going to ask him again... I hope to sort this problem out, because this isn't funny anymore. :S Re: Differences in simulation (version 3/4 vs 5), how to solve ? - sitnisati - 10-12-2018 Just for the looks - it seems like a simple tweak by lowering the smoke opacity in FumeFX rendering dialog. As for the simulation, FumeFX 3 is really old and we added many features and changes since then. Regards, Kresimir Tkalcec |
