I wanted to do the recent “5 Second Project” from www.grayscalegorilla.com when Realflow really fucked it up. I set up a Scene in Cinema with a big box and spheres that should fall into it. I wanted it to be full with water, or any other liquid. I had no Idea how to it in Cinema and asked Chris Schmidt for help. He told me about Realflow.
My scene in Cinema was ready and all animations and camera moves (Thanks for the tip about the “MoCam” of the CS TOOLS, Nick!) where set. I exportet the box and the spheres to Realflow 4. After I did research on Realflow basics and Tutorials I started setting up an emitter in the box and simulated water emerging in the box. I played around and soon had the right amount of water to fill it. Then I douple checked how to export it and how to make it ready for cinema. It was no problem, not at all. I headed back into cinema and tried to find the “SCENES” folder. BAM! Nothing. No Scenes folder on the harddisk. I googled the problem but couldn´t find anything about it. I am still trying to find a way to fix this Problem. The only thing that came to my mind and is possibly the reason for it is that I used Realflow 4 on a Windows 7 System. If anyone knows anything about this DROP ME A MESSAGE!!!! Thanks!
SEE YOU SOON,
Dan
