Linux is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries. The units do not have to be set to centimeters to get the simulation to work. They are built every day and contain all the latest additions and fixes. Also, set the System Units such that 1 Unit equals 1 Centimeter. Phoenix FD is an all-in one solution for fluid dynamics. V-Ray is moreover the correct fit any pipeline with help for open principles like Alembic, OSL, OpenColorIO, and now ACEScg. Note that links to sets, nodes or textures are not saved and loaded from presets because loading a preset in a different scene where the linked nodes do not exist will error out. All other brand names, product names, or trademarks belong to their respective holders. After 30 days, Phoenix will expire and you won't be able to simulate. It is seamlessly integrated into Autodesk 3ds Max and is optimized to render with V-Ray. Mutual interaction between Active Bodies is not supported yet.

Phoenix FD 4 adds support for Active Bodies interacting with the FLIP liquids, so objects can float over the liquid surface or be washed away by pouring liquid. in Fog mode. With its new FLIP liquid solver and improved smoke and fire solver, Phoenix FD is now more powerful and able to bring more realism to visual effects projects. You can try out Phoenix for 30 days without any limitations. Built for 3D artists who want to create dynamic FX using quick presets, fast setup and intuitive controls.
