[passariello]

Hi guys!

New fluids on 2018.3 is incredible!.... UI is simple, intuitive and really professional!

Thanks, thanks, thanks! .... I'm proud for this team! ......

I have required tons of times ago the natural elements in 3ds max .... Fluids is the first and look is great!......

One question is regarding the new era od background calculation in 3ds max! .... great!.... PC is more stable and is possible

to work during calculation.... but!..... is possible to have opportunitie to send the hard job to anothe computer?

A sorta of network calculation like backburner for rendering?.....

Thanks!

I'm proud to be MAX!

it would be great if able to simulate an liquid by distributed processing of several cpus over network ...

This is a great idea, one which we have thought about -- In fact, with the scripting mechanism built into the Max Fluids system, this is possible now with Backburner.

Here is a video showing how it can be done: https://vimeo.com/277464474

Just a few simple steps and things to remember, listed in the video description. The Pre-Render script that does the work is available from my personal website: http://max.klanky.com/scripts.htm

This workflow is a temporary solution and a bit cumbersome but will get the job done.
