No MCage, Im just using pflow with around 400 particles. Nothing special. I just have some p-age and some other standard maps. I will post the file when I get back to work next week. I have done some work to the colors so that it looks not so much like clay dirt.

Alright, I uploaded the AB_explosion animation now. Ok this was done using pflow of course with a pbomb in the middle exploding the particles. Its really nothin special, just trying to improve on my AB skills.

Very usefull thread this is one and the Mental Ray threads are. I’m a bit too busy to contribute, but I will follow with great attention. If I find something usefull I’ll add. Just wanted to say thanks to you guys for sharing.

nice explosion, maybe a bit to much drag IMO and the fire wents a bit late into smoke. but nice look at all
i suggest you should post a link, cause its going a bit confuse on pfupload. dont know witch file is from whom. maybe we could leave our name in the filename.

I was trying to make PFlow work with reactor and found out how easy it is… With a REALLY simple script…
Just uploaded a zip with the animation and the max file if anyone wants to take a look…
The script has some bugs but it works…
The first ~5 seconds of animation are just simple particles, then a Reactor simulation takes place…

Yeah, its getting confusing over there… Agree with putting our names on the files…

aahhh, everytime i read the bad “s” word, a cold shower running down my back. :eek:
hm, it seems i had to learn max script to enter a new level(or at least understanding what your script exactly does 
)

I accidently uploaded something i already had in there. Could someone delete treed_AB_explosion1.mov. I’m sorry for that.

Quick question, I just downloaded the Afterburn demo and it doesn’t seem to work with mental ray? Is this because it’s a demo, or am I doing something wrong?

Actually Mental Ray isn’t compatible with Afterburn. It’s not Sitni Sati’s fault, its just the guys at mental images never made it work with it.

Well sorry to switch subjects, but I really need help on this. Ok I have everytihing working the way I want to. I rendered some frames to see if it would all look ok before I render the animation. Well for some reason the glu3d liquid is dissapeared on me. If i render like frame 15 i see it as a still image, but when i start rendering out as an anim i don’t see it anymore. I only see it at frame 1 but after that its gone. Please help my ASAP, Thanks. Also tried different materials to see if that was it, but it does the same thing. Why would it dissapear after frame 1 on the animation, and then i render out any still frame anywhere it shows up? Thats what really confuses me. Heres the attachment.

got similar problems with older versions. with the latest (1.1.49… i think) the problem was gone(so far). however, you should also post this case on the 3daliens forum.

ok, here is a nice kind of a flame. its the same setup than before, just some other turbulences and more windspeed. get the glow effect via additive shapefacing. hope you like it

It may have something to do with the demo is expired. Other than that I have no Idea. Did you try to make another test file and see if the same problem pops up?
thats all I got…
Can you post your file?
sidvici… what type of compression do you have on that AVI? I cant get it to work in my win player.

ok, i ve uploaded a quicktime mov. i tried to optimize the turbulence. looks a bit better now. some kind of oily flames. i wonder how easy and fast you get results in pflow. this 4 sec render took 15 minutes on my home pc(1,8 Ghz, 512mb). but the best, its just done with pflow! still have the freedom with all the facilities that pflows gives you. no need for a max6 phoenix update, hehe.
however, i think its a bit quiet here at the moment (i look a bit jealous over to the success of the superb MR thread). i think theres is enough to discuss in pflow. so…where are all the mckay’s and davis outhere? get your lazy asses over here! just kidding (or not?) :buttrock:
