I am trying to work on a meteor strike effect on tracked footage using the smoke simulator, I ran into a HUGE problem, where the smoke refuses to render at all after 9 frames, I can’t find any explanation for this, the smoke cache is setup correctly, I don’t know what the problem is, here is the blendfile, I need help as soon as possible; Meteor strike tracking6.blend (1.32 MB)
Thanks in advance
Here’s the issue. When rendering cycles volumetrics, the camera cannot be inside of a volumteric mesh (the domain). I mean it can, but nothing will render. You are using an adaptive domain that pushes toward the camera. As soon as the size/location of that domain cube forces the camera to be inside of it, you can no longer see the flames.
Possibly pull the camera back and increase the focal length.
Thankyou so much! I just shrunk the domain a bit and it worked fine, thanks again!
