Flame effect not working with Arnold

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

I can not get Arnold to render my flame effect. Below is the scene file. I have also attached 2 pictures. One with Arnold and the other with the regular Maya software renderer. As you can see in the pictures, the flame shows up in the Maya software but not in the Arnold. Thank you for all your help!

Hi

 

The old Fire Effect preset is not compatible with Arnold.

 

You need to exchange the Volume material particleCloud2 with aiStandardVolume (at particleCloud2SG).

However all Ramp connections to particleCloud2 will be lost, so you have to recreate the look you want.

Also Glow is not supported with Arnold.

 

The other option is to use Maya Software Renderer.
