Hello, You think about the NodeWorks for C4D?

Not a single one - it was a stunt bat and it was unharmed :)

@digitalesthetics Feel free to get a FumeFX 6 trial (afterworks.com/Trial.asp) and test the simulation speed. Simulation times will depend on the nVidia card that you have, but with 4090 it is very fast indeed.

Hello! Liquid particles are on the GPU while fire is on CPU within the FumeFX, but rest assured that we're focusing on interconnecting everything within the NodeWorks. Such feature will be possible very soon.

Hello! Thank you for your request. It would be helpful if you could supply a bit more information about your expectations what should we add and improve.

@@sitnisati FumeFX Development Team at Sitni Sati, I hope this message finds you well. First of all, I would like to express my deep appreciation for the outstanding work you’ve done with FumeFX over the years. As a long-time user of the software, I see immense potential for further developing the cloth and soft body simulation systems to make FumeFX even more competitive. With that in mind, I’d like to suggest several improvements that could greatly enhance the user experience and the realism of simulations. Real-time Cloth Simulation: Introducing a real-time cloth simulation feature, similar to what’s available in Cinema 4D or Marvelous Designer, would be a game-changer. Allowing users to see adjustments instantly would significantly reduce production time and increase workflow efficiency, especially in projects that require constant tweaks. Improved Interaction with Complex Movements: Enhancing the interaction between cloth and dynamic movements, especially in scenes with violent and rapid changes, would add a new level of realism. For example, improving the way soft bodies and cloth interact with solid objects in fast-paced environments would be highly beneficial for more accurate simulations. Advanced Support for Diverse Fabrics: Expanding the options to simulate various fabric types-such as cotton, leather, or silk-based on their real-world physical properties would make simulations more realistic and detailed. This feature would provide users with the ability to tailor cloth behavior more precisely according to the material being simulated. Enhanced Collision Accuracy: Improving the precision of cloth collision with rigid bodies, especially in multilayer environments, would contribute to more realistic results. Better collision handling would ensure cloth behaves accurately based on real-world physics, which is essential in creating believable simulations. Improved Fluid/Smoke and Cloth Interaction: Developing a system that enhances the interaction between fluids, smoke, and soft bodies would add a whole new level of realism. For example, if smoke flows around fabric or a soft object, the cloth should respond accurately to the forces and direction of the smoke or air movement. Faster Smoke Simulation: Just as you have improved fluid simulations, speeding up smoke simulations would greatly improve workflow efficiency. Faster smoke processing will allow users to run more complex simulations in less time, making FumeFX more competitive in the VFX industry. Integration with Ornatrix and Node-based Workflows: It would be fantastic to see tighter integration between FumeFX and Ornatrix for hair and fur simulations, allowing for better interaction between fluid dynamics and complex grooming. Additionally, expanding node-based workflows would provide more flexibility in creating intricate simulations with greater control over various parameters. I believe these improvements would be a significant leap forward for FumeFX, making it even more powerful and versatile in the current market. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to seeing how FumeFX continues to evolve with future updates.

Hello, Thank you very much for your extensive list of suggestions. Most of those are on our todo list and we'll do our best to speed up development even further. Liquids will have our attention for some time, but cloth and softbodies will get updates as well. Feel free to post any suggestions to our forum.afterworks.com as well. Thank you!

@@sitnisati oh yeah real time clothes is a great idea that will change the game in 3ds max

@MOJOFX360 Thank you for the cloth vote!

FumeFX has motion inheritance option for a decade at least if you meant about that feature? If not, please let us know what you meant so we can look into it for the next update. Thank you!

@@sitnisati let say I need to make a jet smoke trail, so I sim a trail in small box container and then I attach the container to the jet animation that flying foward then go left right in curve, container is a box and I need to make the container also look like curve so I use FFD to bend it ( I also attach the FFD to jet animation), but the FFD wont bend the container because it is animated foward. I wont make the container as big as the jet animation, because it is so far and will take a big container.

@mazfrans9568 Thank you very much for this report. The issue has been resolved and it will be released with the next FumeFX 6.5.1 update.

@mazfrans9568 Just wanted to let you know that we have relased FumeFX 6.5.1 update that solves this issue: docs.afterworks.com/FumeFX6max/Release%20History.htm

FumeFX 6 with its NodeWorks that include liquids is only for 3ds max.

Thank you!

At this point NodeWorks is supported only in 3ds max.

Thank you. Yes indeed - it has full RBD PhysX support with 2-way interaction.

Thank you! FumeFX has been used on numerous movies in the past. Here is the list: www.afterworks.com/FumeFX.asp

@@sitnisati بله و بسیار عالی منظورم در شبیه سازی مایعات بود همان طور که میدانید فیلم گودزیلا امسال جایزه اسکار را برنده شد و یکی از نقاط قوت جلوه های ویژه فیلم شبیه سازی مایعات در هودینی بود امیدوارم سطح شبیه سازی مایعات در نرم افزار شما حتی از آن هم فراتر برود که بتواند محاسبات چند ترابایتی را انجام دهد و قطعا شما میتوانید

This PBD type of liquid is good for a small scale liquids by its nature but it is fast on GPU. FLIP solver is more appropriate for scenes like that.

@@sitnisati ممنون و متشکر از شما

Hello, NodeWorks is for 3ds max only and since it's integrated into it, we cannot port it.

@@sitnisati sad

Thank you!

Puno hvala!

Thank you!

Thank you! ScatterVL Pro is now freeware and can be downloaded from our web site for free. We're getting similar AfterBurn requests so it might continue to live within FumeFX.

​​​​​​@@sitnisati I meant All in One, While ScatterVL Pro is only provided for Max 2018 to 2020, Dreamscape needs some updates e.g : The addition of God Rays and its integration with Sky and Clouds, The addition of Volumetric Caustics Underwater and etc...

Yes, some of those DreamScape functionalities like sky, caustics and daylight are now replaced by each renderer available for 3ds max as they have their own system. Other portions of DreamScape might see life in FumeFX 6+.

Thank you very much for your support Stefan!

Thank you, and it's fast as well.

Thank you !

You can export to vdb and load to any 3rd party renderer.

Thank you!

@@sitnisati most welcome

Hello, You can create nodes as you see them in tutorial and make the same connnections.

Thank you!

That is the question for Redshift developers as we don't have anything with the RS rendering.

A very strange situation.) VDB files can be created very quickly and easily, the scene can use Redshift rendering elements, and Redshift real-time displays the simulation. And even in MP4, AVI and BMP - I haven’t tried the rest - you can export the sequence. But without alpha channel. Maybe they forgot? Ok, I'll make an alpha channel in After Effects. It just takes time too. Happy holiday everyone!)

Hello, This tutorial is a good start. To emit fire only you must disable smoke emission on the Object Source. Hope this helps. docs.afterworks.com/FumeFX5C4D/Tutorial%2001%20Candle%20Flame.htm

I blocked the smoke in Object Source. In FumeFX I unchecked the smoke. I chose fire in Basic in RS Volume in Scatter and in Emission. In advanced mode, I removed the New Max remapping range in Dencity to zero. The RS viewer only shows fire. But! When exporting the simulation to a TIFF sequence, there is no fire, only the emitter sphere is visible. I don't even know what to do.@@sitnisati

We are constantly adding and improving features so you should use at least the version that was used in the tutorial. FumeFX 6.1.6 is currently the latest.

You're welcome!

Hello, FumeFX 6 as it is in 3ds max with NodeWorks will not come to C4D or Maya at this point. However, we plan to add FumeFX related features to FumeFX 6.0 for C4D. It will remain as perpetual license for C4D.

@@sitnisati thanks for the reply!

You're welcome!

Thank you!

Hello, NodeWorks is tightly integrated with FumeFX and Arnold renderer and offers wide range of capabilities in one single package at attractive pricing. This video tutorial (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ml7NaayQotGJmpY) is a good example that shows how you can sculpt custom fields that can be used with particles or FumeFX fire and smoke simulations. Videos and tutorials that are currently available display just a fraction of FumeFX 6 capabilities.

Thank you for your good explanation I hope you will post more specific and newer tutorials on the capabilities of working with nodes As a 3D Max user, processing speed is very important to me Also processing a large volume of particles such as the Krakatoa plugin 3D Max is very weak in liquid processing and Houdini is much better at this point 3D Max is relatively weak in hair After working with this software for years, I have relatively good information about its weaknesses, and these were the most important in my opinion And an important point is that the power of pflow in 3D Max should not be ignored, many beginners do not know its features and capabilities, but it is really complete in its own way, and if you can provide some things to complete it, I think it would be much better.I look forward to seeing the amazing capabilities of working with Fume FX nodes This tutorial was very interesting and new, thank you again@@sitnisati

Thank you! New tutorials are on the way as well as new updates with new features.

🤩@@sitnisati

On 4:30 - Activatrion by Particles - the video has a cut and when I increase the value, all the particles blew up from the surface to the outside. Trying to inspect what could being wrong I found setting the Speed Particles to zero, all the particles keep on the surface, just like the video. I'm not sure if it is ok but it seems to be the right way. About the texmap, I can't find a solution to make it works.

14:15 spin node seems not working for me. 😔

Hello Stephano, We would appreciate if you can ask tech questions on our facebook group or forums. Thank you! Fb: m.facebook.com/groups/164868190323236/?ref=share Forum: Forum.afterworks.com

Thank you! We will take this into consideration.

Good idea!

You're welcome Khalid!

We plan to release it very soon and we're working on it. However, at his point there will be no NodeWorks in C4D or Maya.

Thank you!

For motion blur of tyflow particles? You just need to enable it in your physical camera.

Nice tune indees. It was bought from audio jungle.

Thank you!

Hello, Not quite sure that we understand the question. Those two are very different tools and before both tools there were Houdini, PFlow box #3 thinkingParticles or XParticles on C4D with similar capabilities.

@@sitnisati It was a complaint :D

Complaint noted.

@@sitnisati I think he meant compliment
