I’ve been able to create a basic explosion but not got it moving or looking as good as Ivaylo’s video of a gasoline explosion: [image] Could you point me a Maya scene that produces this video or something similar? Thanks.

Hi, This video was made by a coworker named Ivelin , but unfortunately it was just a test and the scene was not kept. As i remember, it was fuel based, and sow moving advection was used. We will try to reproduce it and make tutorial about such kind of explosions.

yes, we found the max scene, and yesterday it was converted into maya scene, just some minor details are remaining

Would love to get the Max scene.

max and maya scenes, enjoy expl.zip (47.4 KB)

When I run the simulation and then play it back the result is repeated over two frames. For example the simulation looks the same at frame 21 and 22. It then changes at frame 23 but stays the same again at frame 24. How can I get the simulation to update every frame rather than every second frame?

if you are running nightly build, this may be because we are digging in the frame loading right now.

I’m running the stable build “Phoenix FD for Maya 2013, version 2.0.0 from Feb 14 2013, 04:07:58” I think the problem is isolated to the Gasoline Example Scene you sent. I started a new scene and created a basic fire and the sim updates each frame as you’d expect.

Any progress on the example scene? Needing to get several shots completed and the example scene would help immensely.
Thanks.

Vray Lens effects bug?
