Have you tried looking through this thread?

I was having some issues too, but It turns out I didn't properly connect the falling particles in the Scene Tree to the Magic Daemon.

Keep in mind that the exact setting used in this DVD may not work for you, as you are working on a different project with different variables. You may need to play with Magic Strength settings, particle ammounts, ect.

Also, make sure your logo doesn't have lots of geometry. The more faces your logo has, the harder RealFlow has to think about getting the particles to stick to the geometry, and the longer your simulations take.

When you are testing though, don't use tons of particles. Just use a few particles, and if the test doesn't work, at least you're not out 2 days worth of time, because yes, the Magic Daemon adds LOTS of simulation time :)

You may also check your version of RealFlow. I have heard reports on a few forums about people using RealFlow v.3.1.18.xxx and higher having troubles getting the Magic Deamon to work. I don't know if it's a bug in the software, or if their scenes just weren't set up correctly. I'm running version 3.1.17.0063, and I don't have any issues.

Hope this helps :)

We will ensure that our training is solid and correct. If you are having problems with the exact values to use on your own logo that is an area we can't provide support for since it would mean our helpdesk is a replacement for the support services of the software developers.

Since we only support our training kits and not the software you might use the support offered by next limit with each seat of real flow you own.

This is what I have concluded as well. I have been trying to figure out the tutorial since June, and I still have been unsuccessful in getting the same results as the tutorial. So just like you, I feel that the DT Real Flow tutorial is a complete waste. It doesn't even come half-way close to the shape. This is arguably the first FAILED DT tutorial I have ever come across, and I've watched like a dozen of them.

Don't hurt your brain anymore, the tutorial is flawed and the steps the DT guys took to get the results are not thoroughly explained in detail. As you said, its a waste.

Hey guys , well with the magic d , opening the Alexia face splash file supplied with the DVD and clicking the action does not produce the result on the dvd! this is strange. the Magic D doesnt seem to be pulling back the sphere particles to the shape of the face, i have tried increasing the magic strength but shouldnt have too, its the exact file from the DVD! im using 3.1.18.0065 and if this is the problem DT please give us a solution...i need to rendermy splash by next week.If the DVD file is incomplete..well it doesnt say in the tut , but F11 connect Magic D to the sphere emmiter (the water drop) and that doesnt work, im asuming cause the DVD doesnt mention it that the magic deamon effects all emmiters as you dont specify connecting it in the scene tree... pls help...

When you open the scene file from the CD, check the Scene Tree and make sure the Magic Daemon is connected under Sphere01 particles in the left-hand column of the Scene Tree.

If it is not connected, then just drag the Magic from the Right-hand column onto the Sphere emitter in the Left Column.

If you follow that step in addition to the steps layed out in the training kit, then the Magic Daemon should work (I just did a test and it works fine on our workstations running RealFlow 3.1.16). Once the Magic Daemon is connected, your simulation should take MUCH longer to simulate, but that is completely normal.

If the Magic Daemon still does not work, then this could be a more serious software\hardware-related issue. In such a case, you would need to contact Next Limit support or your RealFlow Sales Representative to resolve any software related issues.

Good Luck,
