Does anyone know how to render volume light in a separate render element in VRay?

Any help or advice is appreciated!

3ds max on a mac

Hi all

Newbie here. Am I correct in saying there is not a Mac specific version of this and it can only be run on a Mac with something like a Windows partition?

On a slightly different topic how does it compare to Maya/does it compliment it well?

Thanks

convert fumeFX contents to object/editable mesh/poly

Is there any way to convert the contents of a fumeFX grid, ie the fire and smoke to anything else that would be usable by people who don’t have FumeFX? For instance could it become an editable poly?

Problem running a script from boujou 5.0 into 3ds max 2010

I finished the whole track on boujou and the camera, and set the geometry. Then I properly exported the file out of boujou for 3ds max. I ran the script in 3ds max and got this error:

I looked into where the error was happening and a "3ds max image file list" was created every time I tried to run the script or drag the file into 3ds max. I don’t know how to solve it, I tried re-doing the whole track again and got the same error!

Making clouds?

Hi there,

I am creating a short film at the moment – live action but there are many CG elements integrated into the live action footage.

One of these is clouds. I am wanting to create, realistic, individual clouds of different colours as well – and one with a glowing effect. I can’t find a suitable tutorial anywhere on the internet that will provide something realistic. Most are just to create clouds as part of a sky.

I wonder if anyone has any tips or ideas of how I can go about this in 3D Studio Max?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben.

Fume/VRay problem

Right, so basically myself and one of our 3D guys are trying to create a workflow using EXR’s from VRay based on Hugo’s great tutorial here

http://www.vfxvault.com/vfxvault.com…s_Chap_01.html

The problem arises with Fume. My 3D guy tells me that when you use the frame buffer settings on VRay it doesn’t render motion blur. Also, he is unable to seperate the VRay GI and the Fume GI. Does anyone know or heard of any workarounds for this?
