Hello everyone,

I have question on pyro, as I continue on my quest on moving from Max to Houdini. FumeFx for max would list out the ram usage that would be required for the sim based on the container size and the spacing or division size if you will. Seen here.



How would I see similar info? Right now I have no idea what things are going to cost in ram. Middle mouse clicking over the pyro or smoke objects does not give me that. I can see the voxel count per x,y,z but no ram use amounts. Thanks Jeremy

Hey Jeremy, I don't believe that there is a way of seeing that information beforehand.

How are you using that information? To optimize the sim times, not take up too many resources on your machine, or will the sim fail if you run out of RAM?

I've been asked this before, and I'm just trying to get a good idea of how this feature would be used
