Cascade simulation speed hints?

[djanim8]

Any hints or tips on speeding up cascade simulations?

Hey, can you send over your Phoenix log file? It would say exactly what is taking long in your scene

[djanim8]

Where can I find that? And.... hypothetically, if I started the sim over (saving to a different location) to see if some tricks might work, would that ruin the log file for you?

Hey,

The log is kept in c:\phoenixfd. It is creates for a 3ds Max session, so opening a new scene or simulating again and again will just append to it. Closing Max and opening it again will overwrite it, but the previous log is kept with a *.backup extension, so this way you have the logs from the last 2 Max sessions.

Cheers!
