RF4 Into Maya Problem.

[G77]

I have a huge problem. I'm trying to import a very neat simulation into maya and I keep getting the same error over and over again.

I first import a "particle system in the shape of RF4 Emitter) (.bin) from RF4 into maya, that works perfectly.

However, when I try to import the mesh(.bin) into maya it gives me this message...

// Error: Invalid BIN file '/Users/GGS/scenes/INT/meshes/Mesh1Mesh0100001.bin' used by RealFlow mesh node 'realflowMeshSource1'.


I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. It's pissing me off beyond belief because I love RF and I just bought it 3 days ago and I'm already familiar with a ton of the features and how to make awesome simulations but I can't import them so it's useless!!

Someone please help.

Seems like the naming convention might be an issue. Rename your Mesh in RF and re-build it. Hope that works.

I've tried that about 5 times. I've falled it "Fluid" "Mesh1" "Dynamic" etc etc..

If it's putting out Mesh1Mesh0100001.bin then it's clashing with an already existing data. I would suggest deleting all the mesh bin files and rebuilding the mesh. My bin files come out as water00001.bin and so forth, never been an issue.

Works PERFECTLY! You just saved my brain from exploding!! Thank you so much!

Glad that worked out :)
