UI Step

Click the Phoenix FD Simulator → Dynamics roll-out rollout → Enable "Wetting".

UI Step

Click the Phoenix FD Simulator → Output roll-out rollout → Make sure that the Wetmap particles are enabled for export.

UI Step

Open the Material editor and create two V-Ray materials.

UI Step

Create a V-Ray Blend Material and connect the already created V-Ray materials as Base color and Coat 1.

UI Step

Create a Phoenix FD Particle Texture → Select the Source Particle System → Select the Phoenix FD Simulator and pick the Wetmap particle group.

UI Step

Connect the Phoenix FD Particle Texture as a blend amount mask for the V-Ray Blend Material.

UI Step

Assign the V-Ray Blend Material to your geometry and render.

titleImporting through a V-Ray Proxy
UI Steps
sizesmall
UI Step

Create a Standard Primitives → V-Ray → V-Ray Proxy and select the exported alembic file.

UI Step

When loading a sequence of Alembic files, you can use the '"#' " symbol as a hint to V-Ray that the file path is a sequence. '"C;\alembic_0001.abc' becomes 'C:\alembic_####.abc'".

UI Step

You can assign any V-Ray material to the imported alembic files.

 

In 3ds Max, while you have '"Export as' " set to '"Mesh'", the vertex velocity is in Map Channel 2 of the mesh, named '"velocity'". 3ds Max's built-in exporter names the Color Set in the exported Alembic file '"Max_Map_Channel velocity'".

Importing the Alembic file back into 3ds Max via the 3ds Max built-in Alembic importer requires you to set the '"Velocity channel' " to 2 in the V-Ray object properties dialogue, so you can render it with motion blur using V-Ray.

Importing the Alembic file in any host via VRayProxy will render with motion blur without any additional adjustments. It requires V-Ray Next Update 1.1, or newer.

 

Note

Importing the vertex velocity of the Alembic file into Maya using Maya's native importer (Cache -> → Alembic Cache -> → Import Alembic) is not supported.
