Phoenix FD 4 for 3ds Max - Workstation Lic. with 1 Sim Node

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.	THINKINGPARTICLES INTEGRATION Added Phoenix operators for thinkingParticles, and options to emit fluid via Phoenix sources from thinkingParticles geometries.

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.
• MESH & PARTICLES IO - Import & export mesh objects and particles to OpenVDB, Alembic, Krakatoa, XMesh and V-Ray proxy files.
• 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.
• 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.
• INFINITE OCEAN - Seamlessly transition from detailed ocean surface simulations to infinite ocean waves (that never repeat).
• 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.
• SIMULATION LICENSES - Use Phoenix FD simulation licenses to submit jobs over the network to Deadline and Backburner.
