FumeFX Dimension Copy

FumeFX Dimension Copy

This macroscript takes a selected Box and then copies it's dimensions and creates a Fume grid with the same area. I got sick of having to drag out a real-world scale Box and then dragging out a fume grid to match. This just takes the extra step out of it.

Hi,

This script will Prepare FumeFX containers for creating GI masks to be used later in Comp. Also has controls to optimize the render settings of your shader and shadow creation.

 

Things this script does:

Sets fire and smoke color to be a flat color of your selection.

Sets the Strength of Gi multiplier in your grid.

Turns shadows on and off.

FumeFX Partitioner

This script will divide a fumeFx grid into partitions.
This can also be used to simulate a batch of fume grids locally or via backburner.

More info and sample usages here.

This script allows you to split your FFX containers in several passes. You can also add objects in the Matte tab, and they will get the matte/shadow material. It supports up to 10 passes. This script makes changes only at render time.

Version 4.0 updates:
-Added "Snapshot before Render" feature.

Version 3.5 updates:
-Added load/save system.
-Fixed minor bugs.

Version 3.0 updates:
-Added the Render Manager tool which allows you to choose which pass to render consecutively.
-Fixed Render Preview alpha problem.

FumeFX Presets Tool

A Simple Tool for speeding intial creation of fumefx. Also has some handing presets for the beginner and the casual effects artist.

Hope you find useful!

BUG: Creating Fumefx Containers via maxscript breaks the preview window, unfotuantly i cannot fix this bug :(. The work around however (and im sorry is a little irratating), is the restart max after you have saved the max file.

Enjoy!

Kieran.

Fume & Flow Floater

Fume & Flow Floater
This floater is a way to hopefully unclutter the workflow with Particle Flow, Space Warps, and FumeFX. It is designed so you can work in expert mode to free up some screen space. It has just about all you need to work with pflow and fume. The script contains a large and small version. The large is nice when you've got a nice 20"+ inch monitor the "mini" is better for smaller screen sizes.

Fume Object Source Manager

Rollouts for duplicating and managing multiple object sources since you can't instance object sources (because you can only have one object per source)

*Can duplicate object source and assign objects to selected geometry automatically
*Optionally add new sources to fume grid obj/src list
*Contains all functionality of the object src modify panel

Big scale effects require usually more than one FFX. Having a lot of FFX and holdout objects asks for a lot of memory. Limited memory means rendering in passes. Different lights and shaders per pass multiply the renderpasses again.

To setup a render, it takes some steps and usually you forget one and need to resubmit. That's why I wrote this script, that overviews everything and gives the ability to set it up fast.

I avoided using .NET intentionally, because in big scenes it sometimes takes a long time just to open a scripted tool.

With this script you can copy settings from one FumFx to many others, you can also select which settings you want to copy.
Double clicking in the scripts list will open the clicked FumeFx's UI. Rightklicking the Reference FumeFx in the scripts UI will open the Reference FumeFx UI.
Selecting a path and forcing it will create a separate folder for each FumeFx with its name inside the specified parent folder.
And finally running the simulation for all FumeFx in the list, or if desired, running the Reference FumeFx as leader of the list is possible.

enjoy!
