Sets

[Lummers]

Hi,

When setting up a scene, i accidentally deleted the phx sim set, i tried making a new set and tried to add this set in the scene interaction tab in the simulator but i couldnt get it to work?

How can i rebuild a sim set so that i can put objects in to collide and not collide??

Thanks

Hi,

You need to create a new object set and connect its "usedBy" attribute to the simulator's "interactionSet" attribute. You can use this mel command for this purpose:

connectAttr set1.usedBy PhoenixFDSimulator1.interactionSet;

Where set1 is the name of your object set and PhoenixFDSimulator1 is the name of your simulator.

Adding a more user-friendly way to replace the different object sets used by the Phoenix's nodes is in our todo list, I hope we will be able to make it happen soon.

Cheers!

Is that maxscript or where do I put it in?
How about the atmosphere effect?

Umm, this is for Maya Maybe you are trying to do something different?

Haha OK
Well, I was importing a simulation to another scene and one time accidently deleted the phoenix fd atmosphere effect..
I think In both cases I couldn't get it back as it's generated automatically...if I remember right.

AH, it should appear once you render in volumetric or volumetric geometry mode.
