New Voxel and Particle Tuners
Change each voxel and particle's properties during simulation, and use customizable conditions to delete particles.
Phoenix FD is the all-in-one fluid dynamics plugin for Maya. Simulate realistic fire, smoke, liquids, ocean waves, splashes, spray, mist and more.
Built for 3D artists who want to create fluid dynamic effects that are fast to set up and easy to control.
Preview and render interactively in the viewport. Fine-tune simulations on the fly.
Create all types of physically-based fluid effects with smart controls for refining, retiming and rendering simulations.
Phoenix FD is integrated seamlessly with Autodesk Maya and optimized to render with V-Ray.
Supports industry-standard tools and formats like Alembic and OpenVDB.
By the end of this video and tutorial, you will be able to create your own liquid simulation, understand how the simulation interacts with other objects, and know the basics of editing a number of primary settings for a sim. Full tutorial notes with downloadable assets available on our docs site.
Change each voxel and particle's properties during simulation, and use customizable conditions to delete particles.
Float your objects over pools or wash them away in floods with basic rigid body simulation for Phoenix liquids.
Transport texture coordinates along fluids during simulation and use them for advanced render-time effects.
Load AUR, VDB and F3D cache files, preview them and save image sequences.
Create realistic liquid simulations withsplashes and foam directly in Maya.
Zoic Studios © Warner Bros. & DC EntertainmentCreate any type of fire and smoke effects with Phoenix FD's powerful, adaptive-grid dynamics engine.
Fine-tune simulations interactively in the viewport with Phoenix FD’s GPU-accelerated preview.
Increase simulation resolution and add detail without changing overall shape or behavior.
Perfect for generating small wisps of smoke and steam.
Render particles as bubbles, drops, points, or fog.
Simulate highly-realistic and complex vorticity effects with full control over large-scale vortex strength and ultra-fine details.
Zoic Studios © NBCUse a wide range of customizable emission sources – animated meshes, texture maps and particles – to drive complex simulations.
Render photorealistic liquids and volumetric effects using V-Ray's optimized Phoenix FD shader.
Create a series of simulations that trigger and interact with each other.
Speed up or slow down simulation playback. Perfect for slow motion effects.
Easily create ocean surfaces that never repeat using procedural ocean displacement. Preview and render the ocean surface without simulating cache files.
Influence simulations with forces like waves, wind, spline follow, mesh attraction and more.
