FumeFX 1.2 Maxscript - Call Calculate one Step? - jrand - 11-09-2009

Is there a maxscript function to "Calculate One Step of Simulation"? Similar to xxx.RunSimulation().

Thanks,
John

Hello,

There is no such mxs call and we might remove frame by frame sim for ver. 2.0.

Thanks Kreso, I was hoping for one of those hidden/undocumented treats Smile

May I ask why you are considering removing it? Is the simulation inconsistent?

How about a request for Load Initial State from maxscript? Is that feasible?

thanks,
John

Hello,

I will check for load initial state and run sim from one.

As for sim by 1 frame, by 1 second, etc.. it was considere for removal as we got
the impression it's not used.
Especially sim frame by frame as it requires for each frame to load fdc file from previous frame and to save result to fdc
which is slow.

Maybe our impression is wrong ?

That would be great! especially when you want to run a sim and render based script. The initial state feature is great as it is, I personally think some maxscript extension would make it that much better.

No, I think your impression is correct, I myself haven't used it that often, I am not sure about othesr though. I was just curious.

thanks
