    It sounds like you are missing the data files?

    How are you installing, and what does your log say Help > Troubleshooting > View Log File?

    Directly through zip file. Log says this:

    So the data file is there.

    Can you load other items correctly?

    You haven't swithed the viewport to 'solid bounding box' (the dropdown in upper right of the viewport)?

    I can load the water and waves that come with the product and they render fine, but the "foam" and the "tornado" render out as blocks. And no, I use the Iray engine to render.

     

    Doesn't the log file say my PC can't handle it? Or am I misinterpreting it?

    This is how the tornado looks in Iray preview. The foam the same. My PC is not that bad though, it should be able to render it, so I don't think it's that.

    Reading this: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/548791/volumetric-effects-in-daz-studio/p8
    It's suppose to work like this, but it doesn't.

    I think I figured it out. I have an older daz studio version which does not support these volumetric effects. I use Daz Studio 4.15.

    Yeah, that will be the reason, you need to upgrade to 4.20!
