FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

finalFluid Service Pack 1 Out Now

Advanced GPU-Optimized Compressible Fluid Simulation for Improved Smoke & Fire Export.

Cebas Visual Technology Inc., developer of the first of its kind GPU-based Real-Time fluid simulation system for 3ds Max, is excited to announce the release of Service Pack 1 for its flagship Fire & Smoke simulation system.

 

finalFluid utilizes a Sparse Voxel Grid within an unbounded simulation domain to create realistic smoke and fire effects. The new service pack introduces an enhanced solver that allocates simulation blocks dynamically, using only the memory required in active/resident regions of interest. This eliminates the long-standing restriction of GPU fluid solvers, which have traditionally wasted enormous amounts of memory in regions where nothing happens.

Service Pack 1 also includes significant improvements to finalFluid's Smoke & Fire export feature, resulting in even better quality smoke and fire effects. All 3rd party renderers will benefit from these enhancements, resulting in more realistic and visually appealing renderings.
finalRender, cebas' own trueHybrid™ CPU/GPU renderer, builds upon these enhancements by delivering photoreal renderings of gas and plasma flames, or thick gasoline explosions with a lot of soot and dark smoke.

"We are thrilled to release this update, which represents a huge leap forward in the realism and performance of our software," said Edwin Braun, CEO of Cebas Visual Technology Inc. "finalFluid is the go-to solution for 3ds Max when creating advanced Real-Time smoke and fire effects, and Service Pack 1 takes it to the next level."

finalFluid is a NVIDIA GPU-based only software and is widely used in the entertainment and industrial design industries. With the new service pack, users can expect even more realistic smoke and fire effects, without sacrificing performance or memory usage.
