I do not think it is lack of memory, the simulation is not that highres. The largest WT file is 91 934 KB and I have 12gb ram and i7 920 quadcore processor. I have attached the max scene. Could someone please take a look at it and see if you can figure out what is wrong? Gratefull for any help:) 2012-05-23T15:51:11+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/plugins---extensions/dreamscape-daemon-dynamics/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/plugins---extensions/dreamscape-daemon-dynamics/page-last/#When:02:42:16Z Hello, I'm following this tutorial (http://vimeo.com/20537022) and when I go to press calculate a window comes up and says "preparing sphere" and then it goes off and doesn't calculate the rest of it. Also when I scrub through the timeline everything disappears and reappears when I stop on a frame. Any thoughts?

If I increase or decrease the strength of the bomb, I get the same results. I've found similar posts through Google but no real answer to the problem. It's simulating as if there is no gravity at all. 2012-05-12T07:28:34+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/plugins---extensions/downloaded-building-and-rayfire/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/plugins---extensions/downloaded-building-and-rayfire/page-last/#When:07:20:38Z I downloaded a nice building and want to destroy it like everybody else, in Rayfire. The problem i always get is that rayfire and 3ds crash when i try to fragment it. I use Convex simulation geometry and Voroni uniform as setting for fragmenting. I dont know if these objects that i download are too complex for fracturing or if the geometry are intercepting each other inside the object. But if i stack basic shapes on top of each other everything works fine. Also if i make a box, cut some holes in it and try to fracture it, rayfire fills the hole box and its not hollow anymore. I tried to add a "shell" to it so its not paper thin and fracture with the "voroni - thickness". That seems to work in some way, but when i start simulation everything flies everywhere. Im pretty new to 3ds, so i guess there are some basics i dont understand. Hope somebody can help me out here so i can make outstanding special visual effects ;) I use latest update Rayfire 1.57.10 Latest Physx 2.71 And 3Ds max 2012 x 64. core i7 16gb Ram nVidia gtx 580 Thanks . 2012-05-12T07:20:38+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/plugins---extensions/has-anyone-plans-to-implement-ptex-in-max-2013/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/plugins---extensions/has-anyone-plans-to-implement-ptex-in-max-2013/page-last/#When:11:12:36Z Hi folks, As many of you will have noticed, mental ray version 3.10 officially has PTEX. This is great but the downside is no GUI for the coming Max 2013. Is there anyone out there thinking of designing a way to actually use this MR feature for both texture and displacement maps in our renders? I know that Max 2013 hasn't even been released yet and it's possible that we may get a GUI in a service pack but recent comments from AD people don't exactly fill me with confidence that this is a priority. I hope this topic is in the most relevant section and apologize if it's not.

The FFX starts emitting at Frame 20, so the default sim runs trough the whole sim perfectly, but when I set up the Wavelet and start it, it stops at Frame 21 with the message: "Saving fxd Data ok" also the CPU usage goes down to about 3%. I had that problem some time ago and soled it with renaming the output paths, but now there seems to be no solution. Does anybody out there knows that issue?

Currently am doing a project where my client needs the movement of handicapped persons around their premises. So I searched for it in net and couldn't get any free stuff. In archvision site I saw a collection of disabled persons.But it costs too high for me. Is there any site (or plugin) where I can download pre animated disbled persons 3d model for free cost. Am in urgent.
