Render one frame of simulation

[superrune]

Hi,

I hope this is a quick thing to answer!

I'm trying to do clouds using FumeFX. I have made a sim that I think works, and found that frame 100 works well for my clouds. Now, let's say I want to render a 4000-frame sequence for those clouds. Do I have to re-time the sequence for 4000 frames, wasting tons of disk-space? Or can I tell Fume to just keep rendering frame 100 for all 4000 frames?

Thanks,
Rune

Hi Rune,
you can do that from Playback rollout in General tab in FumeFX UI.

Set "Play From" and "Play To" to 100 and set both "Out-of-Range Types" to "Cycle".

If you want FumeFX object to be visible for 4000 frames, you can animate any visibility option of 3ds max.
