Realflow / Maxwell

Post by sampson » Fri Sep 13, 2013 9:43 am

Hello,

I've noticed that if you open a .mxs file created by Realflow in Maxwell studio the particle mesh is translated as an object element and will not render, however if you import the mesh as a Realflow mesh extension object then it is renderable. Am i missing something in export options or is this an error?

Sorry if it's not very clear - I've done a screen video of what I mean here:

Hi Chris,

I tried that and it is working fine for me. What version of Maxwell do you have?

ok, I've worked out the problem. My fault - I had the mesh set to inactive (thinking it might behave like cached) when I was creating the .mxs files. Building the mesh at the same time as exporting the .mxs works fine.

thanks for your help luisM.

Hey,

You have an export MXS scene in the Export Central to export the scene directly to MXS.
