hi thanx for answering. With the Script, the Fire is still "moving". I mean it still appears like fire and not like fire where the time stopped. @Ankalagon: this version i want to try at last. I tried Keying all the options from the fire but it still is moving and not standing still. i turned off turbulence and so on but it is not standing still. what can i else do?? P.S. I´m using the standard fire that comes with maya thanx for help
