      Hi Dr Sassi, hope you're well.

      I'm having a bit of trouble with a pyro sim in the latest c4d, I've set it up ok and happy with the look, so I tried caching it.

      After the cache it displays in dots, which Im sure it didn't do before, it used to show exactly like the GPU preview, maybe a setting somewhere I've missed.

      It also seems to render ok with a pyro shader in Redshift, however the cached sim scale of the volume is way off for no reason after caching (if you try to cache a few frames as it is, the resulting cache seems to scale up).

      I've also noticed I cant change camera view while the cached file is active, could it be a bug maybe?

      Let me know what you think, and thanks again for all your help, you're a life saver!

        Hi MaverickMongoose,

        Thanks for the file. It is so much faster to answer with it.

        When opening your file, I see that the Perspective View (you have two Perspective views enabled) is not set as Render View.
        Could that be the problem?

        All the best

          If you middle mouse button you'll see I have a render view in the top left, I just switched to perspective before saving it for you.

          Did you happen to try caching? Thats when the error happens?

            Hi MaverickMongoose,

            Something is off, I agree. But I can't reporduce it in a new scene, even I recreate your set up.

              Hi MaverickMongoose,

              Please try this:

              Load the Cache into the RS Volume and apply your Material to it.

              Is this working for you?

              Yes, and it's an extra step, but it's the best I've gotten done so far.

              All the best

                Awesome, that works great! Must just be a bug then I guess.

                You've done it again, cheers!

                  Hi MaverickMongoose,

                  Thank you very much.

                  I tried to reproduce this, but I can't. I tried copying and pasting them one after the other into a new file, but I couldn't.
                  I also placed everything in a new Simulation Scene. No change.

                  I hope you get your project successfully done without further hick-ups.

                  My best wishes
