I'm using fumefx 3.5.8 in maya 2015 and keep getting this warning when I render:
Warning: (Mayatomr.Scene) : ffxMRVol1: can't resolve light links, ignored
This happens even in the Tutorial 1 candle scene.
The renders look fine, just wondering what's up and how to stop the warning.

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's a way to get the fluid mapping data out of fumefx and into something I can use in Nuke. Maybe some sort of UV pass. I would like to do some post work on my sims in Nuke based on the textures.


Attached is a quick test I did using Maya Fluids. I'm looking to do something similar using FumeFx.

Thanks!

Testing DS on 2017 this morning. Pressing the Terrain Editor crashes Max. It's a crash that doesn't even bring up CER.

[EDIT] Also adding a DS Sun to the scene causes a crash.

Installed Fume for 2017 and got the error that Afterworks\Optional\FumeFX_TP.dlo failed to initialize. Error code 126 - The specified module could not be found.

The Max plugins.ini file has this line:

AfterworksOptional=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2017\plugins\Afterworks\Optional

My guess is that this is supposed to be an option during install? Maybe I missed a checkbox to skip it? Reporting in case it wasn't user error on install.

How to export Field3d ?

Has anyone experienced Flicker in their renders when using Vray lights?

I've done enough tests here to realize it will always flicker, wondering if there's some specific settings people use or if it's a known bug.

Thanks

hi there i'm trying to use wavelet turbulence. Per the basic tutorial in the help file here is what i'm doing.

maya 2015 create new fumefx container with simple emitter

goto "extra detail" drop down and set to wavelet turbulence simulate 50 frames.

Then set sim mode to wavelet and simulate again. It looks like it does about one frame then crashes. happens every time in Maya 2015 or 2016.

Auto sync paths is set to ON. Any ideas?

Dreamscape still needs you, Kreso!

Does fume fx 4 work with vray for maya 3.3?

Hello, recently upgraded to Fume4 from 3 and I'm wondering if there are any good resources to learn how to use the blackbody shader. Currently I can see some of the blackbody shader only while simulating. When I stop simming, the fire stops being rendered and it's just smoke. It does not show up when rendering with Mental ray either. Here are a couple images of the default Fume settings with a default simple source. The only change: Fire Color Source to Black-body from Gradient/Fire.

While simulating:
