Realflow - single frame rendering, animation - not

[borisquezadaa]

But does not solve one issue that arises. You CANT stop the rendering once is started  using that script only way out is smashing ESC key until all frames are cancelled one by one. FAIR WARNING.

ok :)

Actually there is a better automated way of cancel the automated renderign of that solving script.

So is this really RealFlow bug? Can this be closed? Or does it work fine in other renderers, and becomes problematic only with Corona?

[Ludvik Koutny]

Issue unrelated to Corona.

Closing as resolved.

Hi all! I just thought I'd give you a tip on how to get around this issue as we also came across the same problem when working on a project.

We're using 3ds max 2016 which now supports the Alembic format.
To get around the issue of the frames not rendering, we exported the realflow mesh loader object to Alembic. This way we only had to re-import the exported Alembic file and the Realflow Loader plug-in is no longer needed :)

Useful tip for users who are rendering Realflow animations with Corona:

If you do not want to export the mesh (it can be really huge) and you prefer to use the 3ds Max Realflow plugin to generate the mesh for each frame, go to Render Setup > Performance > Development/Experimental Stuff and then disable "Multithreaded parsing" under "Basic configuration". It should render fine with small parsing time penalty.

Here is how to get to the development rollout: https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000523916
