Unable to export looping simulation

Software Support & Suggestions
1

Hello, I’m having an issue and I’d like to ask for some help please.

Whenever I export a looping simulation, it looks fine in the renderer and the export panel but my .png is just a black image.

I’m doing the following: pick the fire simulation from the base ones when you open the software>Simulation>Looping Mode>“Loop Simulation”>Bounds set min 0 and max 63>Render>Number of Frames set to 64 and First Frame is 0> Rows/Columns 8x8> Size 2048x2048 pixels.

Also I make sure there is no upscaling in Simulation.

What am I doing wrong? :o

Hi Diana, You’re probably exporting a fire preset so you’ll need to change the Alpha mode to Straight. Let me know if this helps!
