Hello Tim!
I have working around two hours creating “my tornado” following all your instructions and I am very satisfied!! 😉 But…i want to exported to Cryengine 3 and here comes the nightmare..
I have all plugins I need, Crytools installed and working perfectly, but after do all the steps (based in another tutorial of the tube) when I want to validate the export, always says the same :
– Export node “cryExportNode_tornado” has no meshes
I think we are talking about particles/fluids, so I guess there are no meshes involved..but, no way to do any exportation..I always get the same message..any help? Thank you, and again, thank you for this wonderful tutorial, so clear and well explained.
Try converting the fluid to a polygon by going to Modify – Convert – Fluid to Polygon. Then hide the fluid simulation and import the mesh into Cryengine. You might have to mess around with the textures after converting it to a mesh. Let me know if that works!
Great Tutorial, but something is wrong with the project file. When i press the “Play” button nothing happens!
Hey buddy I followed your tutorial but when I cached out my fluids it was around 300gb for 200 frames can u tell me why it got so big
