Another comment on this issue as i am playing with it again.
From where does the ffxFumeSource get its orientation?
Its hard to know which way is 'up' currently. I guess this is what the arrow suggests-but why is my source
completely askew off my fume box and positioned part way outside of it?
So if I type the W, H, L, values to match my source fume fx I seem to be 'way off' the orientation by default. Tested on an 'off 0,0,0' production scene.
Seems like it would be really smart to have a couple of additional options for this source because of the nature of it.
'Adopt orientation of source fumeffx'
'Adopt position of source fumeffx'
'Adopt dimensions of source fumeffx'
I'd like to see these added to the UI of this source. I think they would get used 95% of the time by users frankly. At least as starting points. Or if not at least make this the *default behavior* and if somebody wants something much smaller let them 'shrink it' and 'move it' themselves. The current behavior seems too counter productive for the 'goal' of this source.
I also suggest the 'box' shape as default-as fume grids are boxes too. I can't see using the sphere shape for this source much at all.
