Max v2.2 nightly: Destruction Dust and Fine Debris [09 October 2014]

[George Barzinski]

Maybe you should check our doc page:
https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/PHX3MAX

About refractive index:
https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...er+%7C+PHXFoam

I didn't understand what do you mean in the last message?

[artmaestro2]

where is reffractive index of setting PHXFoam phoenix 3!!!!?

[artmaestro2]

You had this option in Phoenix 2 PHXfoam!

[artmaestro2]

and tell me please what settings renderer should be that would have turned out like in the lesson?

[artmaestro2]

[George Barzinski]

Please, update your knowledge with our documentation because a lot of things are changed since Phoenix 2.
The link I've shared already answer to your question - Refractive index option is now in Particle shader node (in Cellular/Bubbles/Splash rollout)

[artmaestro2]

how to set this parameter 1.7 in phoenix 3.0?

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

If you are in Point mode, this parameter does not affect the rendering neither in Phoenix 2, or 3. You need to set the Mode to Cellular/Bubbles/Splash and then a new rollout will appear with the Refractive index parameter. However, in Point mode the rendering is faster, but there are no refractions and thus - the refractive index is not used.

Cheers!

n this lesson, is it better to use a point?
I just can not get the same effect

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Yup, Point mode will be better for dust and sand, you don't need the bubbles in this case. How does your setup look so far?

[artmaestro2]

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Hmm, looks like your fragments might be moving too slow and they cannot pull the smoke along. How many frames into the simulation is this screenshot?

[artmaestro2]

[artmaestro2]

but what about the rendering and density, etc?

[artmaestro2]

I can not achieve the same result for 5 days already
