Freeze Smoke/Nebula Sim

[mnarlock]

I'm trying to model a nebula and using fumefx to do it. Is there a way to "freeze" smoke? I can't seem to find a tutorial or information on how I can achieve this...especially if I want the smoke to just "sit there" but also be movable in case another object in the sim disturbs it.

Thoughts?

Hello Michael,

You might just sim the Interaction part and then adjust the Out of range type for the "Before Start Frame" which will play the first frame of simulation for the whole time range before it.

I hope this helps.
