Phoenix Tutorials not working

[jens_mittendorf]

Hello,
I am trying to create a fountain with phoenix, and wanted to learn how to do it with the tutorials of the Chaos Docs. Sadly these give a lot of errors and do not work. Looks like max script errors
Is there a way to get a tutorial file from the Fountain that is working in 3ds max 2024 and Vray 6?
The download that is not working is in these link: https://docs.chaos.com/display/PHX4MAX/Example+Scenes



Also, is there somewhere more tutorials like these? Video tutorials would be better than files with examples
thank you

Hello,

The scene was saved with Max 2015 as it is quite old and on open it produces some errors due to the file being old, but other than that if you click okay - it seems to simulate and render correctly using 3ds Max 2024, Phoenix 5.20 and V-Ray 6 Update 2

Are you facing any errors during simulation or rendering?

It gives me a lot of errors when I clic to any phoenix nodes.


Yes, I can get to the simulation button and hit it, but that brings nothing, as I need to learn and understand how the scene is made and every time I clic in one of those nodes I get these:


I sadly do know nothing about phoenix and with this file I can not learn anything from it with the errors. I can not replicate it.

Thanks for the links, but sadly none of what I am looking for (fountain)

Hmm, these don't look like Phoenix errors, sadly we can't replicate them on our side.

How about if you close the files open in the Script editor and try to reopen the scene?

If this doesn't help - how about if you try this scene (it is the same one I just resaved it with a newer 3ds Max version) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nLq...ew?usp=sharing
