I am rendering from wavelet (100 frames) biggest file in the sim is 320096KB. 3D max crashes at frame 87 everytime. I have 12 gb ram so the filesize should not be an issue.
I 'm using mental ray.

Can anyone help?

I have reported this to you earlier without getting any sensible answer.

Absolutely Smile
I see now that there’s 3 frames in post where the smoke dissapears with the exception of a tiny dot of smoke by the emitter. The 3 frames are 88-90 which is where my renders crash…
I have checked wavelet preview again and can not find any frames where there’s just a tiny dot of smoke and there’s no frames missing… so I do not understand why this is happening...

Also when I retimed it crashes several times until I lowered the strength and threshold from 20/1 to 2/0,1.
I thought strength and treshold related to wavelet simulation and not post once wavelet was simulated?

Anyway gratefull for your help Smile

Enclosed is the scene.

Thank you for the scene.
I have rendered wavelet cache frame 85 and 87 under max 2012x64/FumeFX 3 and all went fine.

Can you also please tell 3ds max and FumeFx versions ?

All works fine here.
Maybe I will need you to email me cache for frame 87 - possible ?

Thank you.

I sent you e-mail but have not heard from you or gotten a ftp account.
Would really like to get to the bottom of why 3 of my frames failes when doing Post Retiming...

Thank you for helping to solve this bug.
We will include this fix into the FumeFX 3.0.2 that will be released next week.

Best regards,
