PhoenixFD Vray 7 (max 2025)- fire not visible to render

[vasileios_andriopoulos]

Hi,
I have just finished a fresh install of 3dsmax 2025 with the latest available version of VRAY and Phoenix.
I added a sphere on an empty scene and added a fire preset. It only renders with VRAY GPU.
Any ideas on what is going on? I have tried a lot of things to see what I have done wrong but I can not find something.
Honey preset, liquid preset works with CPU. Only smoke-fire stuff don't appear/

Thank you

Hey,

Phoenix needs a compatible build for V-Ray 7, these are not yet avaible in the official download section (coming soon though), but you can get a nightly build that should work correctly.

You can get a nightly build from here - https://nightlies.chaos.com/main#/phoenix5max/nightly

Just make sure that the installer you're downloading has vray7 in its name.

Cheers!
