Hi! I am currently trying to create a huge smoke simulation like from a burning oil rig. Unfortunately I could not find any way to control the dissipation rate of the smoke. So I have not been able to keep the smoke in a specific boundary, it just grows and grows… I guess I could use a fixed contai…

[image] Backwards compatability btw, i tried the trick $.refltype=11 and it works much better, with quality only 20 it produces perfect result and because of this is about five times faster. here is the scene with the correction. now it runs with about 10 sec per frame at 6 Mcells, after 30 min y…

Another option to get phx better, but it is not anyhow commented :smile: Love it :smile:

[image] Backwards compatability here is the scene with the correction Ivaylo. That looks realy promising! Thank you very much! I´ll try to adapt this setup to my scene and I´ll let you know about the progress. And again I´m really pleased by the Chaos support. With no other software develope…

Hi Paul :wink: Yeah, maybe this conservation method is worth a comeback - with detailed documentation and a good sample (the one Ivaylo provided yet is excellent) everybody should be aware of the dangers and the benefits…

here is the result of the last scene, 100 minutes for 500 frames simulation, and 2h rendering with vray. [block] about the hidden conservation methods: actually this is not fully different method, it is just a modification of the smooth method. refltype=11 produces the same result as t…

[image] No VrayMaps in Mat Editor after installing Advantage Pack 2012 but in some cases, it is very, very useful. Ivaylo, hi, I have another question here:… In your samplefile I see, that you setup your geometry so that it definitely intersects at a certain amount. Is this important? Shall …

it is important only when inscribed geometry representation is selected, in this case the geometry should overlap a bit.

[image] How to get a UV map in the RE it is important only when inscribed geometry representation is selected, in this case the geometry should overlap a bit. Thank you, Ivaylo.

And again another question: When my smoke is travelling through the walls (geometry) - what do I wrong? Thanks again. Sascha

Yes it is!

Thanks again.
