Phoenix FD 4 for Maya is an all-in-one, top of the line, solution for fluid dynamics.

Simulate fire, smoke, liquids, ocean waves, splashes, spray, mist, and more. Your workflow with Phoenix FD for 3ds Max will be faster and easier with the new built-in presets interactive simulations and GPU-powered viewport preview.

Feature Updates

NEW VOXEL AND PARTICLE TUNERS

- Change each voxel and particle's properties during simulation, and use customizable conditions to delete particles.

ACTIVE BODIES

- Float your objects over pools or wash them away in floods with basic rigid body simulation for Phoenix liquids.

TEX UVW

- Transport texture coordinates along with fluids during the simulation and uses them for advanced render-time effects.

STANDALONE CACHE PREVIEW TOOL

- Load AUR, VDB, and F3D cache files preview them and save image sequences.

FOAM TEXTURE

- Create procedural foam coloring of ocean waves without simulation.

System Requirements

Please make sure that your system fulfills these requirements before installing Phoenix FD. Note that Phoenix FD is only supported for 64 bit operating systems and 64 bit versions of Maya.

Phoenix FD for Maya comes in 2 build types - compatible with V-Ray 3 and V-Ray Next. If you don't have V-Ray, it does not matter at all which one you install - Phoenix would still be able to simulate, load, save and preview caches. If you do have V-Ray 3 or V-Ray Next, please take care to install a matching Phoenix build.

Note that reading textures during simulation, e.g. by Sources, Mappers, etc, would be faster if you also have V-Ray installed.

Hardware Advice for Faster Simulating

Here's some tips to help make sure your Phoenix sims calculate as fast as possible.

Hardware	Recommendation
Hardware	Recommendation
Bus speed	Phoenix transfers huge amounts of data between memory and the CPU. The entire simulation grid gets processed tens to hundred times per simulation step, so the bus speed is the bottleneck in most simulations.
CPU speed	Processor speed is more important than core count. Also, NUMA and multiprocessor architectures do not perform well with Phoenix. Simulating on one NUMA node is often faster than waiting for multiple nodes to synchronize.
Fast Storage	Both large and small simulations take significant time just to write the cache files from the simulation and to read them back for the preview, so good storage speed can help decrease simulation times up to 30%. Turning off the preview for all grid and particle channels during large simulations could also help speed up the simulation.
GPU	GPUs are currently only used for the GPU preview of fire/smoke simulations.

In order to run Phoenix FD for Maya, you need to have access to the License Server (installed on your machine or a connection to one over your network).
