Merge sims possible?

[hammerbchen]

Hi guys,
I have asked same question on FumeFX FB group. But also curious if this could be done in PhoenixFD. Are there any ways I can merge two PhoenixFD sims into one? Ie: I have two smoke sims, and I want to combine them so can have same lighting condition. A merged PhoenixFD could be useful for team workflow.

A real example: for a cloudscape. I sim one local smoke (as cloud), I use the same cache but duplicate, rotate, scaling and build a visually plausible cloudscape from a single cache.

Yep you can just duplicate grids or load the cache through empty grid or vray volume grid. I do this all the time. Just do not duplicate the Phoenix grid's as instance, it used to cause issues (it may have been fixed) but just stick with copies
