CGTalk - Problems with Fluid

Hey, I am doing a fluid simulation and every time I am trying to reproduce it, nothing shows in the render view. I am using the nodes "ParticleFluidV2" and "Particle_Vol_Fluid. Before I do it the particles show up...and when I apply the fluid shader, nothing is seen.

Maybe someone can give me insight. Thanks...:banghead::cry:

hi.you have to change the state ( dunno how to call) of Sources.Materials.DefaulLib.cloud_Material to the other one (ParTypes.PType) in Materials List of RenderTree and just than aply the shader.

I don't know the exact technical change that occured between XSI's particle shading between version 2.0 and 3.0 - but I think you're running into it. That fluid shader is from version 2.0 and I don't think it works plugging it into a 3.0+ Material node.

Hopefully someday they'll be able to update all the example scenes/shaders within Netview and avoid this kind of frustration.

Well, I think I did run into it, but for some reason I saved my scene, shut down XSI and restarted it and now it works.
