Chaos Phoenix – Subscription Chaos

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.
