PhoneixFD Smoke/Fire not appearing in viewport

[corey_contrerasrojas]

I'm following the tutorial linked below in order to learn about Phoenix unfortunately Immediately ran into a roadblock upon attempting to generate smoke/fire. It will not display in the viewport at all or the IPR. I'm pretty stumped at the moment. I've checked to make more versions are correct I'm contemplating a reinstall entirely just to be on the save side. I did not see him click anything out of the ordinary to generate the smoke.

Hey,

Do you have a selected emitter in the Phoenix Source List? You could check it by selecting the Phoenix Fire/Smoke Source -> inside the Emitter Node List.
Also, could you show us a screenshot of the Phoenix Simulator -> Simulation rollout? What information do you have in the Cache File Content info box?


Thanks!

I fixed it never mind turns out it was better to use a cylinder and retopo after.
