Chaos Phoenix 5 takes active body simulations to the next level with new tools. New and enhanced presets make creating realistic dynamic effects faster and easier. 

Thruster Force

Create procedural animations inside Phoenix — move active bodies with a directable engine force.

Axis Lock

Restrict active bodies to move or rotate along a selected horizontal or vertical axis.

More Controls

Extra control over how active bodies interact with your scene — choose whether they should emit, attract, and retain fluids, and much more.

New Presets

Choose from popular ready-to-roll settings including stormy sea, jet engine, ice cubes and speedboat.

Enhanced Presets

We’ve also enhanced the fire, beer and ocean presets for even better-looking results. Plus, fire is simulated faster than before.

Realistic Foam Patterns

Create more realistic foam, faster. Easily add variety to the size and look of your patterns.

Voxel Shader

Shade fire and smoke simulations, and meshes in a single simulator — giving you more time to be creative.

Standalone Simulations

Speed up your simulations with the initial implementation of the Phoenix Standalone Simulator and easily debug your scenes through the Phoenix simscene Node Editor.

MacOS Support

Phoenix for Maya now runs on macOS
