What's new in version 5?

RealFlow is a unique fluids and body dynamics software package which allows you to simulate anything from a single drop of water to a massive tsunami crashing across a beach, sweeping debris in its wake. RealFlow remains the definitive tool for the creation of flawlessly realistic simulations, and has been used to create some of the most ground-breaking visual effects ever seen, in movies like “Avatar”, “District 9”, “2012”, “GI Joe”, and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, as well as countless commercials, TV programs, and game cinematics.

In 2008, the makers of RealFlow were presented with the Technical Achievement Award® by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, for creating “the first widely-adopted, commercially-available, easy-to-use system for the simulation of realistic liquids in motion picture visual effects.”

RealFlow 5 continues in this tradition of innovation, introducing Hybrido, the revolutionary new hybrid technology, making RealFlow the only product on the market which enables the user to simulate large bodies of water with sophisticated secondary effects, like splashes, foam and mist.  And, due to its cutting-edge body dynamics solver, Caronte, RealFlow 5 also offers unmatched capabilities for large-scale, complex simulations. 

Realism
RealFlow enables you to create stunning, realistic fluid and body dynamics simulations which are indistinguishable from real footage.

Scale
RealFlow 5 includes the unique Hybrido hybrid solver, which enables users to manage large bodies of water, and Caronte, which gives you the ability to handle massive quantities of objects.

Control
In RealFlow 5 we’ve placed an even greater emphasis on flexibility and control, so you can get exactly the effects you want.  The new C++ SDK and Scripting features open up even more possibilities for user-defined creativity and customization.

The Complete Package
Each RealFlow 5 standard license comes with a free RealFlow RenderKit license, which greatly facilitates and accelerates the rendering process. RealFlow 5 also comes with free plug-ins to all major 3D platforms, as well as a wealth of free resources, tutorials, and a year of free technical support and maintenance.
