Hi Brandon,
I'm sorry, I've been using file instances too many times already. One
tends to forget that for someone new even the first steps can be confusing.
But it's very easy though, so don't panic ;)
Take a look at the tools in the instancing tab. (the last one on the row)
You'll find the "File instance" tool.
Click on it, lookup your realflow mesh file, check "load geometry" and
hit accept.
That's about it, the file instance object will show up in the select
window. Or I should say, it should show up, but the realflow import
seems to be broken.

Hi Arjo,
I went to try tour solution today at lunch time, and I guess it has been too
long since I used RS much. I got confused with you first step to create a file
instance. Create a file instance of what, and how do you do it exactly? I
only understand object instances, sorry.
Properties window of, the file instance?
Thanks in advace for you help!

Hi Brandon,
I know the manual is a bit short in this, as it only says it supports
Realflow files and nothing more.
But this is how you do it:
-Create a file instance inside Realsoft.
-In the properties window load the first numbered Realflow meshfile.
-Set the Animation type to automatic
That's it, that's how it should work. However a nasty bug seems to have
slipped in.
I just reported the bug. I guess it can be solved quickly, as in
previous betas it worked just fine.

Hi all and Vesa,
I installed v6 at lunch time today, created a bowl in RS, created a fluid
simulation in Realflow, and cant seem to figure out how to get the entire mesh
sequence animation back into v6.
Can anyone give me a little clarification to get my animation back into RS?
Side note - it renders at least 2x the speed of v5. Can't wait to get it
running on a new quad core in January when the next Intel procs are
available... =)
The building construction tools look incredible, hope to try soon. The new
measurement system is long overdue and is excellent - THANK YOU Realsoft =)
Much more to explore...
Regards,
Brandon
