Updated 24 November 2019: Phoenix FD 4.0 is shipping for both 3ds Max and Maya.
The integration makes it possible to emit fluid via Phoenix sources from thinkingParticles geometries. The 3ds Max edition gets new Birth, Sample and Force operators for thinkingParticles, cebas’s VFX industry-standard particle and physics plugin. In addition, both 3ds Max and Maya editions have been decoupled from V-Ray, Chaos Group’s production renderer, making it possible to load Phoenix FD and run a simulation without V-Ray installed.ģds Max only: thinkingParticles integration The viewer shows both the voxels of a simulation and a new preview of velocity streamlines. Outside the core application, Chaos Group has added a standalone viewer for AUR, VDB and F3D simulation caches, described as “much faster” than the native viewport previews. Users can delete particles, modify any particle channel value, or modify grid channel values based on “values, textures or distance to meshes”. Other key changes include new tuners for controlling simulations on a per-pixel or per-voxel basis.

The update also adds a new Texture UVW channel that moves with a fluid simulation, making it possible to map textures to the fluid surface at render time, including colour, opacity and displacement. In the initial implementation, rigid bodies can interact with fluid simulations, but not with one another. New features common to both editions of Phoenix FD include a new rigid body solver node, described as providing “basic” rigid body support.
In addition, the 3ds Max edition has been integrated with thinkingParticles, cebas’s physics particles plugin.īoth editions: new rigid body solver, TexUVW channel and pixel and voxel tuners The update adds support for basic rigid body dynamics, a new texture co-ordinate system, new particle and voxel tuners for modifying simulations, and a standalone viewer for simulation caches.
