RealFlow 2015 released today
While the buzz around mainstream tech media may be all about the release of Windows 10 yesterday, CG artists have another reason to rejoice. Today, Next Limit has released their long-anticipated RealFlow 2015. Here's the official press release:
JULY 30, 2015 (Madrid, Spain) – Next Limit Technologies announces the official launch of RealFlow 2015, an out-of-the-box fluid and dynamics simulation software for 3D visual effects. This ninth edition includes all new features and updates, allowing users to achieve quality results faster than ever before; and with the addition of new control tools, users are now in total command of their 3D workflows. Some key highlights in RealFlow 2015 include:
RealFlow 2015 will be available on July 29th, 2015 and licenses can be purchased directly athttp://www.realflow.com/buy or through an authorized reseller which can be found athttp://www.realflow.com/resellers_list/.
- An exceptional increase in the quality of simulations. All new DYVERSO solvers and the addition of GPU acceleration not only speed up simulations, but allow artists to build smooth layered meshes, making resulting simulations more realistic than ever.
- A new direct-to-render feature within the program. This option allows users to import their scene, add fluids, and render them out directly in RealFlow using the most advanced physically-based render engine, Maxwell Render™.
- New tools that give users complete control over their simulations. An enhanced User Interface, new splines nodes, text tools, daemons falloff, crown daemon, and spreadsheets add an extra level of controllability to RealFlow simulations allowing users to achieve the design they want, the way they want it.
- A powerful speed-up compared to previous versions. The combination of DYVERSO solvers and rapid OpenVDB meshing allows users to achieve outstanding results in a fraction of the time, making your simulation and meshing times up to 10x faster.
This RealFlow 2015 version will definitely be a game changer for the majority of RealFlow users and a lot of VFX enthusiasts that have been waiting for this moment to get on board with RealFlow. From the quality and speed of the new Dyverso solvers, OpenVDB meshing and Hybrido enhancements, to being able to finish renders with the new Maxwell Render integration (just to name a few of the amazing features in this version), we think this is a solid release and a new beginning for our product.Gus Sánchez Pérez, RealFlow Product Manager at Next Limit Technologies
