Fumefx 4.1.1 crash when multiple effectors are used
#1
Hey guys, I have a problem where FumeFX 4.1.1 working on Max 2018.4 on Windows 10 crashes every single time if I have three effectors assigned to my FumeFX grid and I am trying to simulate. Sometimes Fume will simulate a couple of frames, sometimes it will crash immediately when I press simulate button. It works fine with one or two effectors but it crashes with three. Is that a known issue and if yes is there any workaround/planned fix?

I attached my scene which is causing the crash to happen.

Ah, I can see the issue now - I can't attach anything to any messages. There's an warning logo next to my attachment saying "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached". My attachment is 51KB large so I think it's a forum-wide problem? I can send you that scene over the mail tho.

Hello,

Thank you for the scene.
The problem is actually in using an Effector with Turbulence noise scale - scale can become really small and it causes invalid velocities.
We have fixed this for FumeFX 5.0.1, but for 4.1.1 you'll need to skip using it in this way.

Best regards,
