Hi.

I was wondering if there is a manual installation dump for Fume 1.2(AB and DS as well) for max 2011? The one on my members area only goes to 2010 and the 2011 installer only allows either 32 or 64 bit to be installed at a time.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

There are FumeFX fire, smoke and a simple box object in my MAX scene.
I chose V-ray for render and I turned on the indirect illumination(GI).

When I rendered the scene, the FumeFX fire was not bright enough,
so I spined up the GI multiplier to 999, and rendered again.
but, nothing's changed.

what's wrong with my scene?

-version info
FumeFX 1.2d
V-ray adv 1.50.SP5
3dsMAX 2010 SP1

I am new to Dreamscape so please excuse me if this issue is a simple user oversight...

I am rendering an underwater scene locally with Vray and everything is great; but when I send my job to the farm the render machines are turning out frames that look like we are above water. It's as if the scene has lowered the sealevel value so now we are above the water.

Has anyone else run across this issue before?

Thanks

I wanted to test finalRender with Fume and see that there is no light calculation and fume smoke renders with no lighting at all.
Scanline an Vray do precalculate the shadow map and renders like expected, finalRender does not!!!

do I miss something?

[EDIT]
ok, Kresimir told me FFX 2.1 works with fR 3.5 and not 3.0

Hi Guys,

I've tried to set off a backburner simulation but regardless of the FumeFX settings or the render settings I can't get it to sim past 100 frames.

I have it set to sim 250 frames, which it will do locally, but submit the same setup to backburner and all it will do is frame 0 - 100.

Hopefully I'm just missing something and you can give me a solution, but I've double and triple checked all the parameters and can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

MAX 2011x64 WinXpx64 Fume 2.1

looks like Free Flow checker in Simple source is doing nothing!?
regardless if I check or uncheck, the simulation is the same and Simple Source is blocking Smoke
I emmit only smoke, no fuel or heat

Hi,

I have setup a file with wavelet turbulence as extra details. Now when i simulate on wavelet turbulence and render my smoke it penetrates the geometry which was not penetrating in the default simulation. What could be the possible reason and solution for the same.

Regards.

Hello,

Here i attech flv.
I am confuse to see it.
i try to make like this but not sucsess.
Is this fume fx or Afterburn or anything else ?

Thanx

We finished a number of shots several months ago that relied heavily on Fume 1.2. The client was super impressed and everyone was happy and the shot was finaled. We then cleared the fxd and fdc files to make room for other shots.

The director loves the look of so much we've been asked to extend the fume renders. We opened the old scene file, re-simmed/rendered and the result is quite similar, but not exactly the same. Unfortunately the extension is for a transition effect and we can't change the delivered and approved shot to match the new sim.

Is there something we could be doing wrong that would create a discrepancy between sims or can simulation results differ even with the parameters all set the same?

Thanks,

Hi,

I am trying to emit smoke from geometry but i get jagged edges around the surface of the geometry.

Attached is the file which shows the undesirable texture on any object.

Regards.
