Short description of error
In a smoke simulation, the substeps do not work as soon as the emitter object is moved by a modifier.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
- With the default cube, hit f3 search "quick smoke" to quickly set up a smoke simulation.
- Animate the cube's translation using different methods, including armature-based animation (which uses a modifier).Make the translation fast enough so there's a clear gap between two frames.
- Se what happens with and without the sampling substeps on the emitter's options
Alternatively, use this simple demo file in which each situation I can think of is represented. You just need to bake the simulation.
