Simulation via command line bug

[radobe]

Hello,

i have an issue with using the FumeFX Simulation License.

Fume Simulates the master container, but not the slave container.

Furthermore i also have an issue with using the simulation license and particles as emitter. NParticles are cached and emit fine simulating via the UI but sim on Simulation License via command line does not work. Object/mesh emission works fine.

It would be great if you could look into this.

Thanks

It would be really important to us since we are buying additional sim licenses and as it is right now, they are quite limited.

im not sure whats going on with support, since last time they visited the forum was a month ago...

im also really concerned about some important bugs/problems that has no solution...

so good luck with it

I feel a bit like talking to myself here, but i did some further test with nparticles and command line sims / backburner sims.

Nparticles are used as fume emitter, cache is created.
Fume gets emitted, but in each frame from the position the particles had in the beginning of the sim. No movement of the particles gets evaluated.

Hi

Fume Simulates the master container, but not the slave container.

I cannot replicate the issue; sims fine for me (both master and slave) in SL mode. If you could attach a scene and the exact command you use to run batch simulations, that would be very helpful in resolving this issue.

Furthermore i also have an issue with using the simulation license and particles as emitter. NParticles are cached and emit fine simulating via the UI but sim on Simulation License via command line does not work.

I've managed to replicate this bug; we had a lot of problems with getting particles to work in Maya. For the most part they work fine, but every now and then, there are issues. We hope to resolve many of those in our next release, FumeFX 4 for Maya.
