script/plugin to simulate then render? - worldyum - 08-26-2008
Is there a script or plugin for Max that allows me to run the simulation and then render (based on my settings) directly after the simulation is done?

backburner sim mode

If you are using RPM you can easily set up a sim pass and a render pass that is dependent on the sim pass (I guess you have to be using deadline too, not backburner!)
In the Script section of RPM in the render pass I just add:
for i in getclassinstances FumeFX do print i.BackBurnerSim=false
and for the Sim pass I add:
for i in getclassinstances FumeFX do print i.BackBurnerSim=true
or you can turn them all off with the top script and individually turn them on by $MyFume.BackBurnerSim=true per sim pass (if you have multiple fumes)

Here you go, wrote this a while back...
Sim and Render - copy folders/files to max root as you would with any other script.
Grab a button/shortcut/whatever from customize dialog (under main ui>FumeFlow category)
Just make sure you are writing your renders to an empty folder or else you will receive a "File Overwrite" confirmation dialog box that will stop the script.
