Realflow 2013 animation to Lightwave 11.6

Post by Danakinobi2 » Tue Apr 08, 2014 4:06 am

Hello,

I created a short animation of a ball going through a pool of water. I animated and exported this into Ligthwave 11.6...

So far I've been able to get the animation sequence and liquid mesh to show up in Lightwave. But I cannot get the splash and foam to show up.

The particles are there. But I have no way to texture them. So they don't seem to show up.

Is there something I'm missing?

Here is a screen shot.

The particles can be seen, but if I render the image or use VPR, they are not there.

Hey,

I guess you are setting the particles as spheres, right?. So, do the spheres are not shown in the render?. Could you send me the scene?

I'm not sure where I'm supposed to set the particles as spheres. Could you point me in the direction where to set the particles? Is there a particular setting for splash and foam stuff?

I did accidentally discover that I need to have the particles checked in "HyperVoxel" in the FXtool tab. Once that is checked... The particles from the "spalsh and foam", show up in the VPR view port and are renderable. Only one color and it is white. Don't know if there is a way to change the color of the particles. Right now they look like little bubbles or small white balls. Not very foamy or splashy.

I have attached pictures of what I have done... Let me know how to send you the scene... Do you want the scene I did in realflow or in lightwave?

Any luck getting the particles and foam to render?

Send me both, flw and lightwave scene. You can use dropbox, webtransfer or similar to send.

Thanks
