Bifrost not working Maya 2016. Small mesh cube created away from liquid object.

I have been trying to follow a few different tutorials online butI am not getting the same thing to happen that I see in the videos. 

 

Lets talk very basic setup.

 

1. Create a sphere.

2. Select the sphere - goto: Bifrost -> Create liquid

 

This creates a small mesh cube in the center of the grid, unlike the tutorial videos where the mesh cube surrounds the object selected/created as a liquid. I am thinking this may be my problem? or I am missing something.

 

When I run the animation, the timeline turns yellow, then red and I get the errors saying that all the frames failed as you can see in the picture attached.

can you send me the scene file please?

 

So, starting from scratch.

 

- file > new (so you have a blank scene)

- create a polySphere (make sure the radius is 2.5, this is large enough to support the default resolution of a basic bifrost liquid)

- select the sphere and do bifrost > liquid

 

You should get no problems with this. let me know.

Thank you for trying help. I just resolved the problem. I was pulling my hair out looking for answers and came accross a website where someone had said installing SP5 again with their Antivirus turned off, fixed it for them.

 

1. I turned off my McAfee Total Protection's Real-Time Scanning. 

 

2. Again installed the SP5 update (https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/downloads/caas/downloads/content/maya-2016-service-pack-...

 

3. Rebooted the machine with McAfee Real-Time Scanning turned back on.

 

And... Now it works! 🙂
