Arnold not rendering Bifrost graph Aero in Maya 2018

[Anonymous]

Hi. I made an exercise following a tutorial form the learning chanel but when i try to render, arnold wont render the fluid, i can see it in the viewport but it wont render 

I cant see it in render preview even with the default material of the simulaiton (before i assign any material) 

Im using Maya 2018 in student Version with the new bifrost graph update. 

The simulation is cache and everything 

Graph where i assign material

how i see in the viewport,

the render tho.....

Thanks for the help!

Hi there — which version of MtoA are you using? To render Bifrost Graph output, you need MtoA 3.2.2 or higher. MtoA 3.3.0 was released this week and will also render it. You can get it for Maya 2018 from arnoldrenderer.com

Thanks, that did the trick

This solution works for Maya 2019.2 too. Thanks! 🙂

I also updated to 3.3.2 and I still can't see the sim in a render, if you found a solution please let us know!

I have the same problem also, just installed the newest version of Arnold but still can't see the smoke when rendering.
Any help is much appreciated!

This is what I did to solve my issue:

So basically I had the latest Arnold version from the official Arnold website and that didn't work. I went to "Product updates" under your Autodesk profile and downloaded the latest Maya update. The first time I unchecked to install Arnold because I did it 5min ago from the official website and Aero still wasn't showing in Maya. I installed the update again, this time with Arnold checked and everything worked fine when I opened Maya.

Hope this helps somebody out!
