Phoenix FD Maya Rental

Rent Phoenix for Maya to receive the same great content at fraction of the price. Options available to rent by the month or the year for a personal experience.  Phoenix FD for Maya empowers VFX artists to simulate fire, smoke, explosions, liquids, foam and splashes, while offering exceptional flexibility and speed. It is a hybrid simulation system including grids and particles, enabling you to get the best of both worlds. Fully integrated with V-Ray, it harnesses the power of Chaos Group’s rendering engine including proper GI from the generated fluid. V-Ray RT supports all Phoenix FD fluids, including liquids with proper refraction. Phoenix FD for Maya is optimized for huge amounts of particles allowing VFX artists to work on complex simulations.

NEW UPDATE! The new update is free for Phoenix FD 3.x for 3ds Max customers.

Update Highlights:

• More realistic droplet breakup in the liquid surface tension algorithm.
• Improved control over ocean rendering and improved particle preview.
• Body Force can now evenly fill a volume.
• Sources emit based on Vertex Color.
• And more!

What it's used for:

• Visual effects in film and television
• Custom emission Sources
• Realistic simulations of fluid dynamics
• Game Cinematics

Why Choose Phoenix FD for Maya

• Phoenix FD for Maya is a great addition to the toolset of VFX artists who use V-Ray in Maya. Check out some key features that will improve and streamline your VFX workflow:

• A hybrid simulation system including grids and particles.

• Automatic foam and splashes generation with optimized shaders for faster rendering and easier setup

• Optimization for huge amount of particles including a fog shader.

• GPU preview that resembles almost rendering quality and allows you to setup your fluid in the viewport with multiple lights even before rendering

• Support for all fluids by V-Ray RT, including liquids with proper refraction, for quick and efficient material setup

• 3D procedural textures allow you to extract channels data from the simulation that can be used in various ways (blending colors of the fluid, changing the IOR for haze effects, etc.)

• Full integration with V-Ray, including proper GI from the generated fluid

• Option to generate haze effects for distorting objects behind the fluid grid

• Scripting through Maxscript in 3ds Max and Pyton in Maya for full control over your simulations

Major Features

Interactive Simulations Fine-tune simulations interactively in the viewport with Phoenix FD’s GPU-accelerated preview.	Simulation Retiming Speed up or slow down simulation playback. Perfect for slow motion effects.
Refine Simulations Increase simulation resolution and add detail, creating a sharper image without changing overall shape or behavior.	Cascade simulations Create a series of simulations that trigger and interact with each other, creating an accurate cascading effect.
Emission Sources Use a wide range of customizable emission sources – animated meshes, texture maps and particles – to drive complex simulations.	Vorticity Simulate realistic and complex vorticity effects with full control over large-scale vortex strength and ultra-fine details.

Turbulence Perfect for generating small wisps of smoke and steam.	Particles Render particles as bubbles, drops, points or fog.
Ocean Simulations Easily create ocean surfaces that never repeat using procedural ocean displacement. Preview and render the ocean surface without simulating cache files.	Wave Force Transition from a procedural ocean surface to detailed wave simulations.
Optimized Rendering Render photorealistic fluids and volumetric effects using Phoenix FD's optimized shader.	Simulation Licenses Use Phoenix FD simulation licenses to submit jobs over the network to Deadline and Backburner.
