why cant I render? FX Tools:Heavy Smoke.

[cloudfx]

Hi all,

I downloaded shelf : FX Tools,

and place "heavy smoke" into a new scene,

I set up new camera, light, and mantra node.

But when I rendered, it returns only blank black image.

I can see all the sphere and emitters in viewport..

Thanks,

-J

Hello Jae...

Make sure you press "Save Metaball Frame" or ("Save Metaball Sequence" if you are rendering a sequence) before you do the render. It needs to write the volume to disk before you do the render.

I hope it helps.

That was it.

Thanks a lot!
