RE: Ice Particles, Lattices, caches and other stuff...

2012-12-06 Thread Sandy Sutherland
On the cache side - not sure why it is not caching the lattice section- but are 
you including ALL attributes in the cache you need to render - stuff like size 
etc...  can be a suprise when the cached stuff has no size - does not render - 
you can try and set the size in a basic ICE tree on the cache in stuff and see 
if it starts to render - then you know it is that.

Subject: Ice Particles, Lattices, caches and other stuff...

Hi List, I've run into a couple of ICE-particle related problems
First thing, I need to export a PointCloud into a .bin cache, The problem is 
I've latticed The pointCloud pretty badly, and when it comes out it doesn't 
seem to have been cached with the deformations... Which are really needed. 
Anyone Knows What can be he problem? (Of course i placed the cache-tree above 
the lattice in post-sim)

And one other thing:
The same pointcloud, I cant seem to render them. Not In Mental ray, not in 
Arnold, not in Hardware... The render just comes out empty. The material i 
applied is a constant, I didn't touch any render settings in any of the 
renderers, and all the object render properties are in working order. I haven't 
had this problem before, Its really strange...

Yeah I've set all the atrtributes, But that shouldn't Hazzle the
renderings, i dont read the .bin cache (its going along to another
program). But yeah, its strange...
