Current Version: 1.4 (updated 8-5-2019) Download
A one click solution for preparing Fumefx sims for rendering in Vray.
VZim is a script that will run your Fumefx default sim and post-cache sim as well as create and load a VrayVolumegrid for the resulting sim, all in one click. This allows you to utilize the Fumefxpreview window for sims without experiencing file incompatibility, while optimizing your cache files, and skipping the many mundane steps to get your sim loaded into and ready for rendering with a VrayVolumegrid.
1.4 Changelog:
- Fixed Volgrid not aligning to FumeFX grid
1.2 Changelog:
- Shift-Click now lets you run VZim while bypassing the default cache sim phase.
Compatibility: Tested with 3dsmax 2016 sp1, Vray 3.4.2, and Fumefx 4.0.3 and later.
ORIGINAL POST:
I'm an amateur when it comes to scripting, but I was getting irritated by having to constantly set up and update volumegrids for my fumefx sims. So I created a simple script to take care of it. You can create a nice little macro button with it and it'll set up your volumegrid/update it after simming a default cache and then converting to a post cache vdb for Vray.
I would like to be able to clear the post cache before I run a sim. You might see I have the command in there but commented out. The function brings up a dialogue box to confirm, which I don't have the knowledge to bypass. If anybody knows how please share so I can update my script. Tips and feedback are welcome as well as any suggestions on additional functionality.
