Hi, I'm learning alexia face slpashing in the DT real flow and maya integration DVD. I'm using the origianl alexia face Maya fie that came in the project files and following the instructor exactly. I was able to export the Maya alexia face and floor as sd file and import them into Real Flow 4. I added a sphere emitter and gravity, then simulate but strange thing happens.
As soon as I hit "a" key or simulate, the alexia face shrinks way down. The floor stays fine and splashing happens fine too. I stop the simulation and scrub the time slider to see the result, then the floor disappears. Actually alexia face and floor get seperated and become differnt files. I see 2 indivisual file in the object folder, alexia_face.sd and floor.sd.
I tried differnt way putting sphere01 emiiter with Gravity01 underneath in Exclusive Links and deleted the Gravity01 in Global Links. Then simulate, but those objects disappear right away. I see splashing between the sphere and floor though. This time those objects stay in this file even though they dissappear in the simulation.
Why do they disappear while simulating? What am I missing to make this happen? Please give me some advice.
