Re[2]: Fire FX
The core sim was never the problem with XSI. The problem is render and from what I heard Holger's fluid shader solves the problem. I never had the chance to use it (studio's weird politics) even though I am a huge XSI+Arnold freak. It was always fumeFX for me to save the day as you can whip out sims with great look in an instant. I know, 3DS Max. This is the only reason for me to use that.

Re: Re[2]: Fire FX
Great tips guys. We have Softimage and Maya here, so potentially FumeFX or emFluid / BA shaders are both options. I just need to pick one and run with it. I'm reluctant to use Maya since I haven't done any of that type of work in it. Does FumeFX have a steep learning curve?

Re: Re[2]: Fire FX
I'd suggest max and fume FX if starting from scratch. I went from not evening knowing maxto delivering multiple shots within 2-3 days. Fume in max integrated really well and works nicely with p flow. Don't know about the Maya integration. On Mar 3, 2014 5:15 PM, Byron Nash byronn...@gmail.com wrote: Great tips guys.

Re: Re[2]: Fire FX
Maya's Fumefx seems to run faster. Just a hearsay, not an experience.
