Cinema4D users can try out a new fantastic fluid simulation system from JawSet called ‘Turbulence4D’. Already in use at major studios in films like Surrogates, it’s from the same people who brought you Turbulence2D for AfterEffects.
It is still in very early stages of development, so the Beta plugin is freely available for download in a “buyer beware” fashion. If you know you’ll be interested, you can go ahead and buy a reduced-price license (299 €) now that will be fully functional when the first release version is available.
I have made a few beginner video tutorials for turbulence4d you can download them for free from my site
