In this video we show you how you can take command of fluid emission and effortlessly create velocities in any desired direction with the latest Chaos Phoenix update. Watch as we also explore how the brand-new adaptive grid option in ocean mode works, how you can customize the user interface for quick and easy access to some commonly used tools, analyze your scenes and optimize them to speed up simulations, and more.
Rocket fuel for your simulations.
Speed up your simulations and unlock new possibilities with even more creative control.
Enhanced performance
Get the job done faster with this update’s performance enhancements. With faster liquids, particle textures and previews, cache generation, and more, Phoenix simulations are now up to 20% faster compared to Phoenix 5.10.
Enhanced user interface [3ds Max]
A quicker and more customizable Floating User Interface for the Simulation, Rendering, Preview, Scene Interaction, and Input rollouts. Plus, a new, floating window to dock and arrange Phoenix Simulator rollouts as desired.
Sources
Take command of fluid emission like never before. The new Directed Velocity option inside the Phoenix Sources allows you to effortlessly create velocities in the desired direction or even leverage the power of texture maps to influence them.
Enhanced Ocean
Save precious setup time and get realistic results faster thanks to added support for ocean rendering with an adaptive grid. The adaptive grid can now expand vertically* for ocean scenes, eliminating the need for manual tweaks.
* Only vertical adaptive grid expansion for Ocean simulations is supported.
Fine control over Active Bodies
Create even more realistic watercraft animations. You can now lock the rotation of an Active Body clone object to the original object, allowing boats to lean while turning.
Simulation Speed rollout
Optimize your simulations with the help of the new Simulation Speed rollout. Gain valuable insights into the most time-consuming aspects of your simulation, and get useful tips on how to speed them up.
Improved V-Ray CPU IPR support [Maya]
Receive instant feedback to fine-tune your simulations or explore different looks with improved support for V-Ray CPU’s Interactive Production Rendering. Save time to be creative.
Streamlined preset creation
Create toolbar presets even without a selected object. If no object is selected a sphere is automatically created and used as an emitter for the simulation.
TexUVW Isosurface support [Maya]
Transport texture coordinates along fluids during the simulation and uses them together with the Isosurface render mode to create advanced render-time effects.
Deadline Simulation Submissions
Preview simulations when running sim scenes through AWS Thinkbox Deadline thanks to the Phoenix Standalone Previewer. Plus, see how the simulation progresses when submitting .max scenes.
Phoenix is an all-in one solution for fluid dynamics. Simulate fire, smoke, liquids, ocean waves, splashes, spray, mist and more.
