I downloaded one of Duncan’s free tutorial examples (http://area.autodesk.com/blo...d_for_clouds_using_fluids).

I need to make a big space “black hole” and I thought I might use Duncan’s 2D hurricaneDynamic.mb and color it (see Pics).  But for no apparent reason after tweaking the colors a bit that solve just disappeared! I don’t have a clue as to what has happened especially since it happened to two backup files I make of it. I open the backup project to keep continue on, BUT THE HURRICANE WAS NO LONGER IN THE 2D CONTAINER THERE EITHER!!!!!

I tried to post the .mb file, but I don’t think it went through. 

Can some kind soul out there please render my .mb file. I just don’t know what is going on with it. Please just render it and send me a pic, thank you!!!!

Your scene file is not attached, be sure it’s .zipped (can’t attach .ma/.mb to post)

Not enough info…

Any error messages in the script editor?
What attribute are you adding the color to exactly?
Have you tried rewinding the simulation?

The file is missing, make sure it is zipped (can not attach raw .ma or .mb files)
