rendering FumeFX with mental ray

#1

Hi,

I’m new to using fume fx and I have a simple smoke scene built and I want to do a test render with mental ray but when I go to render the smoke doesn’t show up. I am using Maya 2016 SP6 and FumeFX 4.

I have tried all of the render engines in maya and none of them show the smoke.

Update: after setting up a fresh scene to see if the problem persisted, everything was fine. Turned out to be an issue with the scene and not the plugin.

make sure that the fume mr plugin is in the right dir, sometime fume installer installs mr plugin in maya dir, but mr is not longer in maya dir (c:\Program Files\Autodesk\mentalrayForMaya2016)

so check ur maya dir and i think u will find mentalrayForMaya2016 dir, just move it out of it and put it in the correct location :wink:

cheers
