Scripting Issue fumeFXcmd

[kjellstrode]

This is a great workaround and it works but it just runs the post script over and over. So the wavelet keeps running, finishing and runs again. I'm sure there is a way to only have it run once, I am still pretty new to scripting.

The reason I thought they were attempting to run at the same time was because the only file to be written out was the wt_.fxd It seemed the default sim wasn't even attempted. I'm seeing a lot of weird consistency when it comes to the order in which the code is executed.

For Example in Mel

Code:

FumeFXcmd -runSimulation 0 "fumeFXShape1";
FumeFXcmd -makePreview 1 10 5 0 "fumeFXShape1";

This works great, runs sim and then a preview

With Python

Code:

import maya.cmd as mc
mc.fumeFXcmd( "fumeFXShape1", runSimulation=0)
mc.fumeFXcmd( "fumeFXShape1", makePreview=[1, 10, 5, 0)]

runs the preview first and then the sim which is no good

I'm looking forward to Fume 4.0 for Maya and I'm hoping it will come out soon.

Thanks again for your help,
