The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.Hybrid fluid solver technology to simulate large bodies of water with secondary effects such as splashes, foam, and mist.Particle based solver (liquid, gas, elastic and particles).Next Limit lists three 3rd party plugins for Wetwork, IoSim, and V-Motion. The plugin supports following DCC applications: 3ds Max, Maya, and Cinema 4D. RFCore is a plugin for bringing RealFlow functionality to the DCC applications. The plugin is also available for Lightwave and Softimage but the development is currently not active. The plugin supports following DCC applications: 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, and Houdini. The plugin is a successor of RF Connectivity and RF RenderKit (RFRK). RFConnect is a connectivity plugin between standalone RealFlow and DCC applications. DYVERSO solvers and rapid OpenVDB meshing speed up simulation times by 10x.More controllabitlity: new splines nodes, text tools, daemons falloff, crown daemon, and spreadsheets.Direct-to-render feature using Maxwell Render.


With "Auto Build" RealFlow | Cinema 4D creates a new mesh automatically each time you change a parameter."Build mesh" creates a single mesh from the current settings.You normally create several test meshes with different parameter combinations before the entire simulation range is being meshed: "Auto Mesh Normals" helps to get a smoother impression of the mesh in the render, but Cinema 4D's "Phong" tag will no longer affect the mesh.Try to avoid very sharp borders, because they look unnatural. "Relax" and "Relax Iterations" sharpen the mesh's borders.This will shrink the mesh and fits it to the underlying particle cloud. If the mesh appears "blobby" and thick increase "Thinning".Values between 3 and 8 give satisfying results in most cases. "Smooth" removes unwanted structures from the mesh and blends the polygons.The value depends on the number of particles. The size of these spheres is defined through "Radius". In order to create mesh the engine creates spheres around the particles and blends them."Medium" and "Medium-High" offer a good balance between meshing speed and the final number of polygons. "Resolution" provides five levels of detail.Attach the fluid container(s) or Thinking Particle group(s) to the meshes node's "Links" or "TP Group" fields.It takes a little experience and routine to become familiar with the different parameters, but the fundamental steps are always the same: With "Build mesh" it is possible to create a single mesh from the current frame. RealFlow | Cinema 4D's meshing parameters. Once you are satisfied with the result you proceed with the mesh: You normally start with the particle simulation and cache it. The higher the number of particles, the better the final mesh.Vertex maps are used to visualize the fluid's velocities in different areas.It is possible to combine several fluid containers within a single mesher object.Both particle types can be meshed together. The mesh engine supports RealFlow | Cinema 4D fluids and Thinking Particles.Meshing turns a particle cloud into a solid polygon object with UVs and vertex maps:
