pflowbaker script for 2010?

[andybyrne462]

I get an error "unable to convert: undefined to type: mesh"

I have a simple particle system with some instanced geo to it. A simple debris effect.

so weird why I'm getting this.

It works as it should here, although if I turn off the shape operator I can get that exact same error. Maybe try replacing your current shape op with a fresh one?

[andybyrne462]

hmm interesting.

So I should have said I have a split amount splitting into 4 different shape instances...it doesn't seem to like this. I got rid of the other 3 and it seems to want to work.

Kind of sucks though..doesn't really make sense

[andybyrne462]

for now..I can just bake out each even seperately and it seems to work.

You could also try Galagasts Bake Script, I haven't tried it with the scenerio you have mentioned but his version works on event level.

I just tested Jeff's script with a simple scene 4 events, event 1 has the birth, speed, two split amounts, and a trailing send out, the three preceding events have their own shape instance, 1 with a box and volume breaker applied (to test shape instance by object elements), another with a teapot, and the third with a torus.

Seem to work just fine, in fact I don't even get the slight offset that I was recieving with the other bake script.

sweet! yep, works great here. Thanks for the heads up on the script!:beer:

[JohnnyRandom]

Cool :) It is definitely a hidden gem, I don't think Jeff has that posted anywhere else, I am thankful he originally posted it, he had some code in it that I used to figure out how to get another script working.

Hi,

I just uploaded an update to the PFlow Baker script that fixes the error you were getting. It now works on max 2010 and 2011.

You can get it here: http://www.oferz.com/maxscripts.php#PFlowBaker or at scriptspot

Cheers,
