Hello,

I am trying to render shadows using depth map shadows, but Mantra is crashing. When I MMB over the red-striped node, the error message is “Command Error Code: 1”. The weird thing about this problem is that rendering depth map shadows worked two weeks ago, but now they have stopped working. Is there a setting that I accidently messed up?

Thank you very much for you help in advance.

Hello,

I am trying to simulate fire using the Fire Container from the shelf, but right now my attempts look like a white ball surrounded by a ring of yellow and a ring of orange. Also, the page in the Help on the Fire Container has smoke coming out of the sphere, but no smoke is being generated from mine.

The steps I am taking right now are as followed:
-Create Fire Container
-Create Sphere
-Apply Burst into Flames (or Source From; I have tried both) on Sphere and Fire Container
-Create Spotlight
-Create Camera
-Render 30 frames in Mantra

If there something that I need to do to make the smoke appear and to make the flames to appear more realistic?

Thank you very much for your help in advance.
