Hi Everyone

I have made one of the projects in the tutorial and wanted to build the mesh so i could import it into maya.
But when i start to build the mesh of the particles in realflow it says:
>[28/December/2010 17:30:06] - WARNING: Can't load file /Users/manuelfreudenmann/Documents/RealFlow/Max Logo copy/meshes/ParticleMesh_RK01_00003.bin.
Thinking that it would not effect the building of the mesh i let it run through.
But when i came to maya and tried to import it, all that appears is a box which does not do anything.
Can some one help me out here or is this just me and my computer that has this problem.

Cheers Manuel

Hi Manuel,
Are you able to create a mesh for a single frame of your particles in RealFlow? In other words, can you go to any frame in RealFlow, right-click on your mesh node, and click 'Build' to create a mesh for that frame?

If that works, then go to frame 0 of your RealFlow particle sequence, and press CTRL+SHIFT+M to build the mesh around your entire cached particle sequence.

Hope this helps, and good luck

Thanks for your reply but i had reinstalled the application and that fixed the problem.

Cheers Manuel
