I can get it to show up in viewport about 30% of time and then it never renders.  Any idea what is going on?  I am using Birth script.

I have attached a zip file. 

thanks

For some reason, it won’t let me attach a 144kb zip file.  so… here is the birth script:

[ code ]on ChannelsUsed pCont do
(
pCont.useAge = true
pCont.useTM = true
pCont.useShape = true
)

on Init pCont do
(
global ChunksArray = $Box* as array
)

on Proceed pCont do
(
t = pCont.getTimeStart() as float

if t < 0 do
(
NumChunks = ChunksArray.count

for i = 1 to NumChunks do
(
pCont.AddParticle()
pCont.particleIndex = pCont.NumParticles()
pCont.particleAge = 0
pCont.particleTM = ChunksArray.transform
pCont.particleShape = ChunksArray.mesh
)
)
)

on Release pCont do
(

)[ /code ]

I have a Birth Script, Speed and Display.

I may have figured it out.

I had fragmented objects called Fragsphere[0-12]

then another object called fragsphere_13

would that make the problem happen?

Tim

Well if your pieces are called Fragsphere(0-whatever), your code should be this:

I just copied Bobo’s script from scriptspot and changed the Box value to your Fragsphere object name. But the things I noticed that could give you the error (besides the name possibly being wrong) was:

And

3ds Max 2009 SP1, 2010 SP1
Maya 2012
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Dual Intel Xeon E5520, 6 GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 OC

I actually posted the wrong script… ha!  I had changed the name to Fragsphere

but I may have that “i” missing and the extra symbol.  will check.  Thanks.
