Chaos Phoenix 5, update 2 adds support for Autodesk 3ds Max2024 and Maya 2024.  

What else is new?

Enhanced Performance.
Phoenix simulations are now up to 20% faster: with faster liquids, particle textures and previews, cache generation, and more. 

Enhanced user interface [3ds Max].
A quicker and more cus-tomizable Floating User Interface for the Simulation, Rendering, Preview, Scene Interaction, and Input rollouts. Plus, a new, floating window to dock and arrange Phoenix Simulator rollouts as desired.

Sources.
The new Directed Velocity option inside the Phoenix Sources allows you to effortlessly create velocities in the desired direction or even leverage the power of texture maps to influence them. 

Enhanced Ocean.
Save precious setup time and get realistic results faster thanks to added support for ocean rendering with adaptive grid. The adaptive grid can now expand vertically* for ocean scenes, eliminating the need for manual tweaks. * Only vertical adaptive grid expansion for Ocean simulation supported.

Fine Control Over Active Bodies.
Create even more realistic watercraft animations. You can now lock the rotation of an Active Body clone object to the original object, allowing boats to lean while turning.

Simulation Speed Rollout. 
Optimize your simulations with the help of the new Simulation Speed rollout. Gain valuable insights into the most time-consuming aspects of your simulation, and get useful tips on how to speed them up.

Improved V-Ray CPU IPR Support [Maya].
Receive instant feedback to fine-tune your simulations or explore different looks with improved support for V-Ray CPU’s Interactive Production Rendering. 

TexUVW Isosurface Support [Maya].
Transport texture coordinates along fluids during simulation and use them together with the Isosurface render mode to create advanced render-time effects. 

Streamlined Preset Creation.
Create toolbar presets even without a selected object. If no object is selected a sphere is automatically created and used as an emitter for the simulation. 

Deadline Simulation Submissions.
Preview your simulations right after running simscenes through AWS Thinkbox Deadline. The Phoenix Standalone Previewer now generates images from the cache sequence, freeing up more creative time. Plus, you can see how the simulation progresses when submitting .max scenes.
