Hi everyone!
I created a fire animation using Phoenix FD in 3ds max 2018. On a black background it turns out like this:

Then practically nothing will be visible.
Result:

There was a problem with opacity. How to solve it?

I found the Fire/Smoke Cascade Simulation project on the chaosgroup official site. Link: https://docs.chaosgroup.com/m/mobile.ac ... e/47535992
In this project, the results are as follows:

How to achieve the same result in my project?

Hi Cobaltium,
using 3dSMax environment you will illuminate your scene, it is not a backgroud.
try using 3dSmax background: 3dsMax > view > viewport background
or octane OSL environment.
