I have an animation with fire+smoke, but when I render it no fire or smoke shows up and I don’t know the problem, I’m using cycles and the domain has a shader for it. Any help?

$\begingroup$ Have you baked the simulation? $\endgroup$– Gordon BrinkmannCommented Aug 15, 2022 at 8:57

$\begingroup$ can you provide a screenshot of the domain shader? and maybe provide the details on how you created the fire+smoke and if you have baked the simulation. there are many issues that could cause your description of the problem, so extra information will help us find the actual problem. $\endgroup$– J BlockCommented Aug 15, 2022 at 10:15

$\begingroup$ @GordonBrinkmann yes, I’ve baked it $\endgroup$– CabbageCommented Aug 15, 2022 at 12:42

$\begingroup$ Ok so I’ve figured out it only renders if the flow object is visible in the render $\endgroup$– CabbageCommented Aug 15, 2022 at 12:43

$\begingroup$ @Cabbage I don't know what you've done actually, because it usually renders without the flow object being visible. I just tested it, the flow object isn't necessary for rendering. $\endgroup$– Gordon BrinkmannCommented Aug 15, 2022 at 12:50

I figured out the problem, bake all the data BEFORE disabling the emitter otherwise data won’t bake and won’t render.
