RealFlow | Cinema 4D 3 - Upgrade from Previous Versions

• Serious, high performance fluids - RealFlow | Cinema 4D 3 is built on RealFlow's Dyverso solver - so you get the best in fluid simulation, with an easy workflow
• Simplified workflow - No need to go back and forth between 3D platforms. You no longer have to worry about network dependencies, permissions, or IP issues
• Fully integrated toolkits - Now you can use native Cinema 4D modifiers and tools combined with RealFlow
• High speed simulations - RealFlow | Cinema 4D 3 is GPU accelerated, supporting CUDA and OpenCL

• Particle-Object Interaction - Use RealFlow nodes and Cinema 4D colliders together
• C4D splines as RF particle paths - Create splines in Cinema 4D and use them as fluid paths in RealFlow
• C4D materials as emission masks - Use Cinema 4D materials and textures for emitting fluid particles
• Crown splashes on demand - Create and customize crown splashes easily
• Use RF directly with C4D Mograph - Convert RF to thinking particles, use particle instances and tracer objects
• Visible fluids on objects - Use collision maps during simulation and render the effect
• Super-fast meshing - Take advantage of a fast and easy-to-configure mesh engine based on the OpenVDB library

Macro Daemon

Particle Clipping For Meshing

Spline Control Circles

Alembic Stitcher

Quads For Meshes

Thanks to the new quad meshed you'll be able to make meshes easily subdivided.

Sub-Frame Sampling

Animated particle emission parameters and daemon parameters are taken account between frames.

Particle Size Controlled By The Fluid

Use particle speed, age and vorticity to resize fluid particles.

Force Scale

Scale all the daemon forces from a single place.

Transform Your Fluids

Scale, rotate and translate transformations can be applied to fluids
