fumefx grid

 

 

This node provides an interface to the FumeFX grid. It can retrieve grid data during a FumeFX simulation, allowing other nodes to directly influence the simulation process. It can also be used to read data from FumeFX caches. When operating in cache-reading mode, the node does not trigger simulation updates, regardless of parameter changes in FumeFX. In this case, you will need to manually restart the NodeWorks simulation for the changes to take effect.

 

 

[Inputs]

 

Enabled - Enable or disable node evaluation.

 

Type Name ??? Enable this option to type the FumeFX name.

 

FumeFX - Select the FumeFX grid from the scene you want to reference.

 

This node also shows the total number of voxels and lists all channels stored in the cache. Channels marked with an asterisk (*) are currently loaded in FumeFX and can be accessed by other nodes within NodeWorks.

 

 

Fields

Use <Channel> - Select which channel you want to load into FumeFX. If this option is not checked, FumeFX may or may not load the channel automatically, depending on the simulation???s or viewport current channel requirements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Outputs]

 

Grid - Outputs the grid for other nodes to use.
