Phoenix FD 4 for Maya Subscription Renewal

TEX UVW Transport texture coordinates along fluids during simulation and use them for advanced render-time effects.	STANDALONE CACHE PREVIEW TOOL Load AUR, VDB and F3D cache files, preview them and save image sequences.	FOAM TEXTURE Create procedural foam coloring of ocean waves without simulation.

Key Features

• LIQUIDS, SPLASHES & FOAM - Create realistic liquid simulations withsplashes and foam directly in Maya.
• SMOKE, FIRE & EXPLOSIONS - Create any type of fire and smoke effects with Phoenix FD's powerful, adaptive-grid dynamics engine.
• INTERACTIVE SIMULATIONS - Fine-tune simulations interactively in the viewport with Phoenix FD’s GPU-accelerated preview.
• REFINE SIMULATIONS - Increase simulation resolution and add detail without changing overall shape or behavior.
• TURBULENCE - Perfect for generating small wisps of smoke and steam.
• PARTICLES - Render particles as bubbles, drops, points, or fog.
• VORTICITY - Simulate highly-realistic and complex vorticity effects with full control over large-scale vortex strength and ultra-fine details.
• EMISSION SOURCES - Use a wide range of customizable emission sources – animated meshes, texture maps and particles – to drive complex simulations.
• OPTIMIZED RENDERING - Render photorealistic liquids and volumetric effects using V-Ray's optimized Phoenix FD shader.
• CASCADE SIMULATIONS - Create a series of simulations that trigger and interact with each other.
• SIMULATION RETIMING - Speed up or slow down simulation playback. Perfect for slow motion effects.
• OCEAN SIMULATIONS - Easily create ocean surfaces that never repeat using procedural ocean displacement. Preview and render the ocean surface without simulating cache files.
• FORCES - Influence simulations with forces like waves, wind, spline follow, mesh attraction and more.
• SIMULATION LICENSES - Use Phoenix FD simulation licenses to submit jobs over the network to Deadline and Backburner.
