About this software

Chaos Phoenix is a fluid dynamics simulation plugin for Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya that creates fire, smoke, liquids, splashes, ocean waves and explosions. It integrates with V-Ray and Corona, exports and imports OpenVDB and Alembic, and offers GPU-accelerated viewport previews. Phoenix also provides standalone simulator tools, simulation node licensing for networked processing, presets, tuners and retiming controls for artist-directed results. Documentation and tutorials are available on Chaos's website.
