  reverse realflow meshes in c4d

  Posted by Fred Homan on May 6, 2010 at 9:06 pm

  I work on a project where I have to import several mesh-sequences from realflow into one c4d-scene. All works fine except, one of the mesh-sequences I want to reverse (imploding waterdrop), all the others I just want to run in normal order.

  Unfortunately I can not find a way in c4d to reverse this one mesh-sequence. I could renumber all the underlying bin files in reverse order, but that doesnt seem the most practical way to do it.

  It seems to me timeline options are not available/do not work for the imported mesh sequences.

  Anybody knows how to do this?

  I found the solution myself!

  In Realflow create a scene and run the simulation.
  After the simulation has finished save the project and close it.

  Then create a new Realflow project and drag a NBinary Emitter into an empty scene.
  In the NBinary menu load the particle folder from the previously created scene, and set playback in reverse mode. The simulation from the previous scene now plays backwards.

  Create the meshes and load the meshes in the ususal way into C4D for furhter processing.

  Thanks for the help!!!!!!
