Wavelet over Initial state simulation

[Bandu]

Hi,

I think I must be doing something wrong

I have a simulation of 30 frames, than I use the frame 30 as initial state for another simulation, all good so far.
But if I start wavelet simulation on top I see nothing. The caches are there and they are big, unfortunately nothing render at all

in steps
1: run a sim of 30 frames (default cache)
2: take frame 30 of sim 1 as initial state for sim 2
3: run sim 2 (defauls cache) ALL good
4: run wavelet of sim 2... big caches, no smoke render

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

That won't work properly as wavelet simulation requires that it is computed from the original simulation. Initial state in your case misses first 30 frames of the original simulation.

I see... so if I simulate wavelet on the first 30 frames I would have an initial state for a wavelet simulation?

I have found a solution for my problem, I just change sim settings on frame 31 and let continue the simulation run with the new settings. Is the same as initial state if I look closely

thanks

Hello,

Yes, you can set key on FumeFX params on frame 31 and it will pick them up.
Wavelet applies sources again and from the caches it reads velocities and pre-computed wavelet data only.

I hope this helps.
