Hi,

has the installer changed for 2010?

I'm trying to install Dreamscape and Fume for both 32 and 64 bit versions (mainly because Rayfire doesn't have PhysX in its 64-bit version).

Both installers give you only one choice on install and if I run the installer again, choose modify and select 64-bit versions I get errors when running Max, to do with DCPflics or Afterworks.dlu.

What's the preferred method of getting both 32 and 64 bit running?

Thanks,

Steve

Does DreamScape NetRender?
If it does, are there additional mental ray licenses for it?

Thanks,
David

Greetings all.

Here i recreated my problem on a simple scene so that everyone see what is going on.

http://dl.free.fr/oTNSQnQWu

I have a problem with Mental ray it seem, because when i try it in scanline, i don't get that result.

As you can see, my actual smoke is flickering , mostly as we get near the end of the sequence. We can also see some square artifact in the shadow casted on the ground. I tried getting smaller tile size, but my square artifacts only get smaller.

Anyone can help ?

I have a scene with a PFlow that increases the number of particles by an object's movement.
The first frames render okay. But when I go to a frame that has more particles, it crashes 3ds max.
When I reduce the number of particles, the same frame that crashed before, starts to work (but other frames with more particles crash).
All the options of environment->afterburn are left in their default, and it doesn't change a thing if I add or remove the light.
I tried to render with multithread enabled and disabled. And it didn't change a thing

So I think it has only to do with particles number.

I'm using 3ds max 2008 - 32 bits

I've uploaded an example file of the error to:
http://www.fernandotortosa.com/particles.max

Please, render frame 58

Is that a bug?

Hi to all, I was just testing the FumeFX demo and while playing around with it I noticed that when smoke hits an object or the source is a geometry the render comes out with jagged edges, I'm using scanline, I tried many different settings, scene scale, lower voxel grid and other parameters but nothing changes, maybe it's a demo restriction or something, any hint is appreciated.

Here's an image of what I'm talking about.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a little problem with fume fx, I have a car with kind of chimney at the back and this car is moving very fast and produce lot of heavy dark smoke
but I don't find a way to have the smoke following the car nicely and going out of the chimney at the right position.
I always have hole in the smoke or the fuel, on some frame, is outside the chimney.

I have already tried with different scale scene and it doesn't fix the problem.
I also decreased the grid spacing to have better resolution, it doesn't change the problem neither.
I have tried to increase simulation substeps (1 to 50) and max iteration (200 to 400). I think this is already big values and it didn't fix the problem neither.

If someone have an idea !!

Thanks

hi,
does anyone knows if dreamscape 2.5e works with 3DStudio Max 2010?

thank you

bye

I'm a long-time finalrender user, but I just picked up Vue 7xStream which only works with Mental Ray.

One big (my opinion) limitation with Vue is that while it renders properly in terms of Max objects, it's own objects and constructs, and their interaction, it has water that does NOT physically interact with anything.

Can you use a DS sea surface with Vue/MR? Will it render the reflection of a Vue terrain properly? More importantly, will a DS surface break/foam against a Vue terrain object?

Maybe I should just campaign for Afterworks to give Dreamscape tech to Eon

Hi!

Is there a way to create a velocity render Pass???

Even with the Channel Data Shader set on velocity you can get a XYZ/RGB base shader... It's only a mono channel shader

RightNow We have to re-render every times we need to change the Motion Blur. It will be a lot faster and easyer to ajuste it in Comp....
