Real flow plugins for Maya 2011 mac.

Posted in: Realflow
Hi,

I just have a general question I recently downloaded the pkg for Maya, however I can’t find where the actual plugins are located, when I open maya they’re there but, I can’t find the root of the plugins. Does anyone know where they are stored ? I looked in the contents folder of both Maya and realflow but nothing.

Thanks.

RealFlow 5 Quits constantly On Mac G5

Posted in: Realflow
Hello guys,

I have a strange problem. Up until now I have been using Realflow 4 on a Mac G5 PPC. Most of the time it runs pretty well.

Recently I have installed the demo version of Realflow 5 to try it out. The problem I am having is that it is crashing all of the time. Also, every time I save a scene and then try to reopen it, RealFlow just quits before even opening the scene.

I have tried this with many scene files, even installed it on a clean install of leopard in case there was conflicts causing the bug. Same problem over and over again.

Any ideas why this may be happening? I have tried many thing but have no solutions so far.

My setup:
Mac Dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5
5GB RAM
OS 10.5.8
Realflow 5.0.3.0190

Thank you in advance…

Ian

Blood spray effect

Posted in: Realflow
I’ve been tasked with creating blood spray for a video game and I’m wondering what y’all think the best option would be for this. It’s a realistic styled game, but they’ve requested over the top blood spray. To be specific I’m looking for a blood spray from a semi-auto rifle. Any help would be much appreciated. I have access to Maya, RealFlow and Houdini. I’ve worked in RealFlow for this so far. What I’ve got doesn’t look like I want it to exactly. I’ve taken a ball of settled particles, and then shot it out with 3 different wind daemons from behind it. One pointed straight at its back, one point at a 45 degree up and one pointed at a 45 degree down. I’ve also tried shooting a rigid body at that same ball of particles, but that didn’t look great either. Any suggestions of other ways to do this that might get more of what I’m looking for?

sim-farms?

Posted in: Realflow
hi. i was wondering if there is a way to calculate the sim using a farm. like rendering with render farms, using more computers over a network to process the images, i thought maybe there is a way to use the power of multiple cpus when calculating simulations.

RealFlow 4 plugin question

Posted in: Realflow
Hello

I would like to ask about RF4 plugins. Where can I find them? I’ve been online reading and some posts say that they are not required, while others say that you need to use plugins from RF3!?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.
