Hello! Thx a lot for the awesome tutorial, it’s super easy to follow. I just have one question, when I render my flame, it looks like the particles are colliding with the box, making it rly noticeable, and there seems to be a lot of smoke (enough to fill the entire box making it even more obvious). How could I fix that? Thx again for the amazing vids :)))

@alexanderlovejoy4163 3 жыл бұрын

Great tutorial! I have a technical question when I try to render with my graphics card by changing the "render device type" in render setting i get a white box for the fluid container and the flame doesn't render. I am using a new PC i10 processor Nvidia 1080 ti, plenty of Ram and HD space. Any suggestions how i could make this work? I assume that a gpu render would be many time quicker than a cpu render currently each frame renders at about 1.3 minutes. Thanks for this tutorial its one of the best I have seen.

I have two questions. 1. What should I tweak if I want the fire to emit some brighter light? 2. Will this work without errors if I group the emitter and fluids in an animated shot and parent constraint the group or do I have to do something extra?

@sarkamari 3 жыл бұрын

Hi;To answer to your first question, lighting should be conducted seperatly. This scene has an omni light at the base of the flame and the illumination comes from there. Your 2nd question is explained in the smoke tutorial in the FX series.

Hello, thank you very much for sharing this tutorial. I have a question. How can we increase the light intensity of the Fluids we have created? I want it to illuminate its surroundings, but I still haven't found how to do it.

@sarkamari Жыл бұрын

The shortest hack is to plant a point light in the middle of your fluid and crack up the exposure. Fluids do not emit any lights

@straightarrow372 Жыл бұрын

This looks really doable. Thanks for a clear presentation. I hope to try soon. One thing that's not clear to me is how you add points to the color and opacity windows.

@straightarrow372 Жыл бұрын

I did a fire, using these instructions, but it's too fast, so I tried to adjust the parameters and it wouldn't change. Then I lengthened it to 200 frames. I noticed that the later frames were slowed down, so I'm wondering if the ncache is somehow preventing me from changing the parameters in the first 120 frames.

@sarkamari Жыл бұрын

You change the scale rate to fine tune the speed of your simulation

Are fluids really still being used? The technology is older and less efficient than the newer Bifrost, is it not?

Fluids don't emit light. You need to use an omni Maya light to fake the effect.

Two things to check: make sure to set your Temperature emitter to Dynamic grid ( usually gradient causes such effect). Also your approach will be slightly different if you are using Redshift

Hello Sir, just a question, what is the attribute that let me have more influence as a Lightbringer in the scene, I just create the torch but the influence over the walls is not the best, and I want this to be like 70% of the light source in the scene, I need it to illuminate way more.

@sarkamari 2 жыл бұрын

I'd definitely consider using a point as a source of light. Fluid sim doesn’t emit light, unfortunately.

@leonardoacosta1953 2 жыл бұрын

@@sarkamari Do you recommend to me a way to emulate the effect of the "pulsing light" of a torch? I tried to set the point light as you say but it seems static and kind of fake, so I tried to use a Fractal and animate by "set key" in the color channel but it is not working, nothing is changing when I try to block the influence of white n black as an alpha. I'm gonna check if I didn't activate the checkbox to use alpha as luminance...

Hi Sarkamari, I have rendering question. I'm trying to render this same fire animation in Maya Arnold using my GPU, but it can't seem to render properly. CPU rendering works just fine, but it takes a long time. With GPU, it renders everything perfectly except the area where my fire animation is happening. I updated my GPU driver already, but it still does the same problem. Script editor says "[gpu] shader name unknown to OptixProgramCache: MayaFluid // [gpu] shader name unknown to OptixProgramCache:MayaFluidData // [gpu] shader ignoring shader /fluid/fluidShape1/shader, node not supported on the GPU" Do you know how this could be fixed?
