Chaos Phoenix - Subscription

Key Features

• Liquids, Splashes & Foam - With Phoenix you can create realistic liquid simulations with splashes and foam directly in 3ds Max and 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.
• Simulations Refinement - Add detail and increase resolution without changing simulation shape or behavior.
• Turbulence - Perfect for generating small wisps of smoke and steam.
• Particles - Render particles as bubbles, drops, points, or fog.
• Mesh & Particles IO - Import & export mesh objects and particles to OpenVDB, Alembic, Krakatoa, XMesh and V-Ray proxy files for 3ds Max, and OpenVDB, Alembic and V-Ray proxy files for Maya.
• Vorticity - Simulate highly-realistic and complex vorticity effects with full control over large-scale vortex strength and ultra-fine details.
• Custom 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.
• Color Absorption - A whole new level of volume rendering effects using Colored Absorption. Achieve more control over smoke shading—change the light’s color as it travels through smoke.
• 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.
• Ocean & Beach Waves - Seamlessly transition from procedural ocean to simulated beach waves.
• Forces - Influence simulations with forces like waves, wind, spline follow, mesh attraction and more.
• Accurate Viewport Preview - Preview fire, smoke and liquid simulations quickly and accurately in the viewport.
• Active Bodies - Float your objects over pools or wash them away in floods with basic rigid body simulation for Phoenix liquids. Interaction between Active Bodies is coming soon.
• Active Bodies collision - Complete control over collisions between Active Bodies using the Bullet solver. Easily create effects such as colliding ice cubes in liquid, floating ocean debris or objects washed away in floods.
• Voxel and Particle Tuners - Change each voxel and particle's properties during simulation, and use customizable conditions to delete particles.
• Simulation Licenses - Use Phoenix FD simulation licenses to submit jobs over the network to Deadline and Backburner.
