I'm haveing trouble with pyrocluster. Afer adding a simple emitter and adding the pyrocluster properites to it i find it jumps around and the moves in the opposite direction i'd expect i.e. moves left when you pull the mouse right. Anyone know whats going on? Have i done something stupid? i've included a scene so if you have pyrocluster you can see for yourself:

I loaded your scene and I can confirm that weird behavior.


It happened to me once too. I had to delete the emitter, re-create a new one and add a pyrocluster setting on it again to fix it.


I guess that bug comes if the Bridge is set to Auto. You could try to turn off the Bridge, make sure WS side is empty, exit tS, restart in Modeler, and build a new PC scene.

Pyrocluster has had some troubles in the last few versions of trueSpace. It was written quite a while ago and a few problems were reported along the way. I think it worked ok in 4.3 or tS5. I don't recall it working in tS6 as well as folks would have liked. Probably just one of those cases of old versions no longer maintaining full compatibility. Think there were a few workarounds but they were a bit kludgey if I recall correctly.

It does work a lot better with out the bridge turned on (for still images at least).

Still some problems if you move it with the frame set to anything but zero.

This may be what you're looking for jayr. It is for 6.6; you may need to do this on model side.
