A huge update to Chaos Group’s PhoenixFD system adds in liquid simulation, making it a contender to the likes of RealFlow, along with a huge list of other bells and whistles that not only make it more accurate, but prettier and easier too.
New features and improvements in this free upgrade to Chaos Group’s fluid dynamics plugin include: extension for liquid simulations, turbulence helper, forward transfer advection, randomization, analytic scattering mode, added ramps and ranges in the viewport, ability to use the radius of the PF particles in the source helper, color ramp and preview range for each channel, RGB preview of the UVW channel, limits for the adaptive grid, optimized the interaction with the scene, option to displace without surface projection using directly the 3D point coordinates (volumetric displacement), V-Ray 2.0 compatibility and various bug fixes
