REALFLOW ANNOUNCEMENTS
1)?You’ve been patiently waiting for the big release – and now we can confirm that you can start working with?RealFlow 2013 at the end of this month!? Our beta testers have been getting a good feel for the new version – let’s see what they’re saying about it:
- “RealFlow 2013 is an amazing piece of software. Not only can you simulate controlled fluids on a small scale, but you are now able to create giant, highly detailed floods of water. With the massive speed improvements and the great connectivity with Maxwell Render, Lumiere will keep using RealFlow for all of their fluid simulations.”?– Duncan Burch, Lumiere
- “RealFlow managed to step up against the competition of Naiad and Houdini again, considering the Flip Fluid technologies. In combination with the standard SPH solvers it offers the most versatile and sophisticated toolset for liquid and particle physics simulations on the market today.”?– Daniel Heiness, Ugly Kids
- “RealFlow 2013 is a giant leap up from its predecessor not just in speed and efficiency, but also in stability and simplicity. ?It makes it easier to start up a simulation from scratch, but it also gives you more tools to take total control of it.”?– Kyle Yoneda, Mr. X Inc.
