#SMOKE question
All,
I have a question regarding SMOKE_I.SXP usage. I'm using SMOKE in a scene with
13 different settings, each in a different material. Render times were
unmanageably long until I tried copying SMOKE_I.SXP as SMOKE_I2.SXP,
SMOKE_I3.SXP, etc. I then had each material call a different copy of SMOKE and
the render times came back down. All was fine until today, when I had this
error appear during the Readying Materials part of rendering: "Can't load
process C:\TESTMAPS\SMOKE_I3_I.SXP" Somehow the underscore-i was appended to
one of the SXP copies, and it has the same problem (with a different SXP copy)
each time I try to re-render. Any ideas for a work-around? See the image in the
ASOFT-IPAS library called SUNS.JPG (should be there soon). A colleague here
suggests using only one copy of the SXP, with each material calling the same
EXPONENT setting… but I'm using several different exponents…
Thanks,
Eric
