hello,

I've noticed a strange behavior..
I cache my sim and then retime it to vdb..

now when I want to load it to redshift or arnold volume node, it's getting offset in X and Z..
in vrayVolumeGrid there is no offset (but also a fume preset when you load the cache)..

first I thought this might be an error by redshift but it's also arnold..
is there a bug, or am I missing somthing?

thx

About 2 weeks ago, without me noticing, Windows Defender (Win 10) decided that AfterFLICS.exe is malware and deleted it. It had never complained about it before and I haven't touch the install since a few months ago.
I re-downloaded the latest Fume 4.1.1 Maya2018 installer just to make sure I didn't have some weird version but no change. In fact Windows deletes the installer as soon as I download it.
I've had to add the AFLICS install directory as an exception just to be able to reinstall and run Fume.

I'm assuming this is a false positive from Defender but it would be nice to understand why.

Surely I can't be alone as this must affect anyone who hasn't disabled Defender?

Have tried to do this ages ago. Thought I'd try again since I'm doing a house fire shot. Need to sim fire in a first sim box. Then use FFX source to read fire and velocity data from the first sim and birth smoke from it in second sim box. Have tried many variations, including effectors to create smoke in 2nd box where fire values are found - can't get it to work. Any thoughts or possibly a sample sample scene to show how to wire that up? Thanks a ton.

Note: and if this was broken several releases back (3.x.x, 4.x.x), could you also tell me what is the minimum version I should be using to do this in? I'm simming several different versions of fumefx on different boxes for different reasons. I've seen release notes, and I am doing 'read' not 'set' in the FFX source.

...not a valid Win32 application. Thoughts?

Hello,

I am attempting to create a script to setup and check attributes before a fume sim is submitted to the farm. I am getting hung up on the back burner button.

Hi everyone,

i have a interesting question, does anyone have/has any idea how to make looped fire?

thanks

So I couldn't help but notice there have been 2 new Dreamscape videos. This is very exciting for me. I know that you've been saying there are future plans for DS. Please don't tease too much. I'm personally really excited (and starved) for news about DS development.

And BTW, I like the new site design updates. Looks really nice.

I've tried searching this question with no luck, but I know I can find help here.

I have a cached simulation that starts at frame 1 and ends at frame 200. I import it into a new scene and it works perfectly, starting at frame zero. Now, I need to have the simulation (fire) start at frame 700 instead of zero. Is there an easy way to do this without a complete resim?

Thank you!

Hi
After installing Fume 4.1 for 3dsmax 2017 max won't open anymore, giving the an error massage:

DLL failed to initialize properly - not loading.

Max will not start anymore. Even uninstalling Fume didn't help. Had to reset windows to an earlier system restore point! any ideas?

thanks
Michael

Can you please tell me, when FumeFX for Maya2018 will be available?

Sincerly
