Chaos Group has just upgraded Phoenix FD for 3ds Max. You’ll have more control over your fluid simulations, and the latest updates added support for 3ds Max 2018. That’s in addition to many new features, improvements added to fluid simulator and behind-the-scenes tweaks.
Highlights include: • More realistic droplet breakup in the liquid surface tension algorithm. • Improved control over ocean rendering and improved particle preview. • Body Force can now evenly fill a volume. • Sources emit based on Vertex Color. • And more!

Chaos Group announces a major new release of its versatile, all-in-one fluid dynamics plugin, Phoenix FD 3.0 for 3ds Max. Frequently used to simulate realistic water, fire, and other fluid effects for multiple television series such as Game of Thrones and The Flash, Phoenix FD has been significantly upgraded for fast-paced productions. 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.
Accurate Viewport Preview Preview fire, smoke and liquid simulations quickly and accurately in the viewport.
Quick Presets New toolbar with presets for fire, smoke and liquid simulations.
FLIP Solver Fast & realistic liquid simulations.
Improved Fire and Smoke Solver Create realistic smoke and fire with natural rolling motion and fine details without increasing resolution.
Fast Volume Rendering Optimized volume rendering with accurate lighting and global illumination.
New Forces Influence simulations with forces like wind, spline follow, mesh attraction and more.
Ocean simulations ● Infinite ocean – Create infinite ocean waves that never repeat. ● Ocean & beach waves – Seamlessly transition from procedural ocean waves to simulated beach waves.
Advanced simulations and controls ● FLIP solver – Enables faster, more realistic liquid simulations for splashes, sprays, foam, mist and waves. ● Improved fire and smoke solver – Realistic smoke and fire with natural rolling motion and fine details can be created without increasing resolution. ● Cascade simulations – Create a series of simulations that trigger and interact with each other. ● Refine existing simulations – Add detail and increase resolution without changing simulation shape or behavior. ● Simulation retiming – Speed up or slow down simulation playback, perfect for slow motion effects. ● Custom emission sources – Use a wide range of emission sources including animated meshes, texture maps, particles and more. ● New forces – Influence simulations with forces like wind, spline follow, and mesh attraction.
Pipeline and compatibility • Compatibility – Compatible with top industry tools such as Alembic, Krakatoa, Stoke MX and OpenVDB.
Pricing & Availability
Phoenix FD 3.0 is available now for Autodesk 3ds Max and is a free upgrade for all Phoenix FD 2.x customers. A Phoenix FD 3.0 for 3ds Max Workstation license is $830 and includes one floating user license and one floating simulation license. Additional simulation licenses are available for $210.

Solid To Liquid is a Tool for Cinema 4D which allows you to create a nice transition from solid to liquid. Version 1.5 will be available with some new features and it's free update
New feature of Solid To Liquid v1.5 is Geometry Integration. With this new feature you can use geometric objects such as ( sculptures, reliefs, character…). also offers you multiples parameters to easily control your animation. You no longer need keyframes to build out your animation, all transition parameters are automated. then you will be able to make adjustments that much quicker on a tight deadline.
