z-depth pass for fire?

[hammerbchen]

Hi,

I have read through help and did a quick search on forum, but still couldn't find a way to render z-depth for fire. Is there any solutions for this?

thank you,

Hi,
you have to render in geometry atmosphere mode, this is slower, but is the only way to have z-pass. in max the atmospheres can't produce z-pass.
