v10.5 Next Limit RealFlow

REALFLOW’S PIPELINE

1. RealFlow – The fluid simulation is setup in RealFlow using the Standard License.
2. RealFlow Nodes – To save time, different iterations of the same scene, or secondary Hybrido elements, can be sent to calculate on your farm.
3. 3D Platform – FREE – Once complete, the simulation is exported (via free connectivity plugins) to the 3D platform.

WORKFLOW

ALEMBIC PANEL – New in version 10.1

Get total control of your Alembic objects with the new parameters for tweaking their animation speed, offset and mode.

SD ANIMATION OFFSET – New in version 10.1

Direct your objects animation timing without leaving RealFlow. You can even use different offsets for objects from the same SD file.

THE FINEST LIQUIDS – Updated in Version 10.1

Liquid PBD solver has been improved to reach SPH quality at the highest performance levels.

EMISSION MASK – New in version 10.1

Stop worrying about objects intersecting with your emitters, or carefully scaling your pool walls to avoid gaps. With the new Emission Mask options, no particle will be created where you don’t want it to.

MANAGE ALL YOUR PROJECTS IN A MORE VISUAL AND EASIER WAY

There is a new, totally revamped version of the Project Manager where you can find your scenes quickly and have access to learning material at your finger tips.

EXPORT PANEL

Every single node has now its own export panel where all the parameters related to caching can be manipulated avoiding the longer and less intuitive task of editing them through the Export Central tool.

PARAMETER GROUPS

Parameters having additional sub-parameters can now be collapsed/expanded providing a cleaner way of looking at your parameters.

SCENE NODE TREE

Now the Scene Node Tree represents the transformation hierarchy of your scene which is a more intuitive way of looking at your nodes’ parent/child relationship.

PACK AND GO

Move your scenes around making sure you always include all the external resources.

SAVE INCREMENTAL

One-click way of automatically versioning your projects.

QUICK ACCESS TOOL

Quick access to any RealFlow command.

SCENE INFO

You can add comments to your scene using rich text with images, tags can also be used for quick finding of your scenes in the Project Manager.

OPTIONAL EMBEDDING

You can decide whether to include the simulation data in your scene or not.

MORE FEATURES INSIDE:

• Bitmap Emitter Improvements.
• Continuous Collision Detection.
• Better support for 4K monitors.
• Time Scale for Hybrido secondary emitters.
• Homogenization of bounded options in Daemons.
• Environment variables can be used in the preferences window.
• License priority pick up.

Updates

What’s new in v10.1.2?

Improvements

• RF-4178 Dyverso – Rigid material algorithms have been changed to avoid floating point errors which result in erroneous behavior sometimes.

Fixed bugs

• RF-4049 Dyverso, Retimer – Dyverso retimed simulations do not interpolate the particle positions.
• RF-4128 Spline, Spline emitter – Moving an object in an ortogonal view may bring the object to undefined coordinates in the axis perpendicular to the view.
• RF-4166 Filter daemon – Some Filter daemon expressions involving several non valid variables may crash RealFlow.
• RF-4168 RealWave – RealWave foam texture resolution value is not preserved on command line simulation if RealWave geometry is not included in the scene.
• And More
