Phoenix FD for 3ds Max - Quick Start: Gasoline Explosion

This video covers the basic workflow for creating a gasoline explosion simulation in Phoenix FD for 3ds Max. By the end of it, you will be able to create your own explosion simulation and know the basics of editing some of the main settings of the sim.
For an in-depth tutorial on the content discussed in this video, please see our Phoenix FD for Max QuickStart - Gasoline Explosion page found on the Phoenix Documentation site - docs.chaosgrou...

These tutorials are mighty helpful

[@jussing]

Silly question, but where can I download the barrels start file?

[@youtith]

Thank for your tutorials

[@mojtabaebtedaie9100]

Excuse me, what is your system configuration?

[@Ediranii]

So explicit, thank you!

[@nothingspeaks]

how do i get my simulation to run smoothly like that is it my gpu? i have a tb of hdd and 16b of ram

[@CanFakedeadTV]

Hi everyone. I took this error message when I try to vray render : PhoneixFDFire001: Using the progressive sampler with PhoneixFD Light Cache will slow the rendering considerably. The PhoneixFD Light cache will not be used for this render. How can ı solve this problem?

[@fyrworx4]

I have the same issue, please help

[@NullifyFX]

I have the same issue but the render turns out fine and at the same level as that of the render in the tutorial

[@artdependent84]

In your GI setting, set your primary engine to light cache

[@STROBdotNET]

Very nice tutorial! thanks!

[@beinaidoPichaido]

And not burn your what... YOUR WHAT???? Btw, nice tutorial!! (Y)

[@khalidvfxartist]

it went off before he finish his sentence. R.I.P funny guy/

[@JoshPurple]

Outstanding! Thank You :) !

[@Simuleta]

Thanks! very useful.

[@SergeyCG]

Hello, thank you for a good tutorial. Can you help to solve the problem?: when I rendering an object with a fire, and save in png and open in the after effect the fire is very dim. Why is that? when rendered everything is very intense and bright, but in the after-effects it is as if the fire is very transparent. Why is that? By the way, I rendered with the ready preset.

[@jerryjacob47]

Trying rendering in Targa instead of PNG. hey wat render pass did you use for rendering fire and smoke???

[@dignityforhumans9374]

Very cool tuts can you tell us your computer specifications ? If we can to rebuild our computer again thank you

[@zhekovgeorgi]

Hey - the one used for the recording is using i7-5820K CPU with 64GB of RAM.

[@worrah]

hmm. im using i7 6770, but have much less speed of calculations o.O what am i doing wrong? (same units)

[@DjTarantula1]

Many Thanks for the tut :) One question...can you make a short tutorial with the stormy ocean sim that one of you made :)? Thanks a lot, and very awesome things you've done all :)

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

Adding it to the list :)

[@voldas1990]

Hello, Whenever I reload my saved scene, My PhoenixFDFire001 data is all default? Do I really have to redo all the settings again?

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

Sounds like you are using the demo, which is now replaced by a 30-day trial build which has no such limitations. Check it on chaosgroup dot com :)

[@voldas1990]

I do have the full version....3.0 with 2017 max

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

You need 3.04 - check the site :)

[@lesniergonzalez5394]

what features does that PC have?

[@theasiangamers5029]

how do i export this so that I can composite it onto my live footage?

[@ryolandneko]

Just render it.. :D

[@siddharthsharma1912]

nice tutorial. but anybody can tell me where to get Phoenix FD for 3ds max 2017

[@nothingspeaks]

i cant use the example assets

[@Kampotscity]

*amazing*

[@weapondcase1978]

Wow, thanks :)

[@Renatovento21091989]

Hi No matter what I do my Simulation is ALWAYS CLIPPING. I tryed adaptative grid to smoke threshold 0.02 or to fuel or to Temperature. Seriously what kind of dev put such an annoying limit on a simulation ??

[@mehere8565]

What about US measurements?

[@lukacspolgar5988]

the last sentence sounded like if a hyperion robot would have said it from borderlands 2

[@iwankorzhenevskiy9287]

more like the Stanley Parabble

[@GD15555]

why does unit have to be 100 centimeters and not 1 unit i centimeter Also you guys promised to make a tutorial about a fire truck putting out a fire from liquids to fire. Please!!! Thank you would be nice to have user made or chaos made preset library. A lot bigger than what you currently have like lava, natural stove gas, steaming hot shower, hot geysers etc Even if you have to pay for each one as long as they are very accurate and all settings are the best ones

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

Hey, so on units - it is very important to have the simulator as big as the real-world effect you are simulating - you can check the container size in the Simulation or in the Grid rollouts. If you reduce the unit scale 100 times, you'll have an explosion of a centimeters big, which would mean your container will fill with fire in a blink :)

[@SvetlinNikolovPhx]

Regarding the fire extinguish scene, please check the Chaosgroup Phoenix forums, an example is uploaded there :)

[@theColJessep]

Today's Episode is brought to you by Nero.

[@newmoviesall8432]

Where fire modifier

[@LaCotorraMax]

nice! XD

[@alexeyma9219]

cool！！！

[@CGFUN829]

OOOH why the fake i started opening houdini while i can explode things in Max!! Thanks CG! BTW....just forget it...
