Re: EXPLOSIA FX - How to get it render??? - SOLVED

Glad you got it going. I tried it for a while but just didn't have a job for it. It is very good though, I liked it a lot. It was a while ago and I couldn't remember how I got it to work but it does work well.

Re: Mesh cut through

Thanks for uploading! I'm sorry however I only have 2014 so the scene won't load. Perhaps a screenshot of what you did if you have time? Thanks so much for your help.

Re: Mesh cut through

Hi mc.axe,

I'm totally lost in ice. It can't seem to add the missing nodes correctly and nothing happens so I must be missing something obvious. Would you be able to share your simple test setup?

Much appreciated if you can, this looks very interesting.

Re: Any way to import STL?

Thanks Hirazi, I'll give that a try. NNois, I do have Moi and I agree, it does a fantasic job. There are two problems however. Moi is 32bit and the parts I need to convert are complex and not easily broken down. It runs out of RAM. I've been hoping for a 64 bit version but hasn't happened yet. The o...

Doh, I forgot to even answer the question. Ascii or binary is fine, doesn't matter.

Re: Any way to import STL?

Unfortunately I don't. For what I'm doing it's probably not worth the time. I just thought someone might have one already. Thanks.

Re: Any way to import STL?

Yes, I can import in Blender and convert to .obj then import that into SI. I was just hoping to skip a step because sometimes I have a lot of them. Oh well.

Re: Any way to import STL?

Yes. Unfortunately I need import. It's such a nice way to get solid geometry from CAD programs into polys. Blender can do it really well. I was hoping to skip a step and go straight to SI but I haven't found anything yet. Sure wish there was.

Re: Why an Indonesian studio choose Blender over 3ds

That's very good to hear. I think this will be a trend. With so many studios under financial strain they may start to wonder if they really do need to pay all that money to Autodesk, and then decide no. I hope so. Blender development will benefit. I'm just a hobbiest now so I just want to learn some...
