pyroCluster 3.5

Dense Voxel-based 3D Surfaces?

By adjusting only a few parameters, a soft vapor effect can be turned into rock solid stones or other landscape like formations. Enjoy true 3 dimensional volumetric displacement with proper and flexible self-shadowing with a minimal amount of render time.

What about the real dense Pyroclastic volcano clouds?

pyroCluster 3.5 effects can be rendered in many different ways to represent all kinds of natural phenomena, including realistic dense clouds with super crisp self-shadowing. However, there is more! pyroCluster 3.5 can not only create smoke or haze - it is also perfect for fiery or solid liquid effects. Turbulent water falls or snow avalanches are all possible with one single product.

pyroCluster 3.5 features an all new Volume Tracer engine that fully supports all standard 3ds Max lighting effects. Advanced optimization features of the VolumeTracer engine offer many ways to improve render speed and quality. For example, pyroCluster 3.5 is yet the only plug-in that offers two shadow map creation methods for one single light source! One light source may affect self shadows in the volume differently than the shadow that is thrown onto other objects by the cloud or volume effect!
