FumeFx 1.2 + Afterburn 4.0B+Dreamscape 2.5E

FumeFX 1.2

This point release brings a mental ray support through a mental ray shader.
With FumeFX installation, user gets the ability to render FumeFX by using mental ray renderer. By default, rendering with mental ray is possible on local machine only. Network rendering will require additional licenses that can be purchased from our online store.

New exciting extension to FumeFX set of tools is availability of stand-alone rendering library for Windows and Linux, both 32 and 64 bit versions.
Those libraries enable loading of FumeFX output files, accessing the data from the grid, shading using built in Standard Shader and building of Illumination Map. Please contact us for more information.
To support easier transfer of FumeFX rendering settings to outside of 3ds max, we have provided a max script command that will export all Standard Shader data into a text file.

– Added max script access to shader’s AFC and Gradient controls.
– Bug fix: if using the same cache in multiple grids, some of them might fail to open cache.
– Bug fix: Fume FX Follow operator crash fixed.
– Bug fix: FumeFX_TP.dlo crash under max 2009.
– Bug fix: Fume FX Follow operator for Particle Flow bug fixes.
– Removed option to run simulation on hard disk.
– Bug fix: max2009 64bit – FumeFX max script dialog failed to reopen.

Please help me ASAP! Can't render FumeFX with VRay, don't know where the problem is

Hi everyone!

I have FFX fire and smoke in my scene and I want to render it with VRay.

• VRay 3.05.03

• FumeFX 3.5.7

• Don't know the exact shader version (if such thing exists) but this is what the install file is called: FumeFX35VRayMaya2014x64

When I render the scene, I get everything except the FFX sim. I have a Dome light in my scene and it's associated with FFX grid. I've also turned on GI according to what said in the FFX manual.

I seriously don't know where the problem is, I'm dealing with this for two days so I'm just asking here since there's nothing that can help me Google.

Thanks! If you need any more info please tell me!

EDIT:

FOUND THE ISSUE:

I feel really dumb, I installed the shaders for earlier versions of VRay, not 3+. The shader install file should be called: FumeFX35VRay30Maya2014x64

Notice the '30' behind VRay. Oh, well I'll leave this here in case anyone gets this issue too.
