what is new in Chaos Phoenix v5
Powerful, artist-friendly simulation software for 3ds Max and Maya. Chaos Phoenix is capable of a wide range of effects including fire, smoke, liquids, flames, explosions, rigid body simulations, ocean waves, mist and splashes to list just a few. Quick presets and fast setup make it easy to get started, and its powerful simulation engine offers complete control over more complex effects
Chaos Phoenix 5 will take your simulations to the next level with new tools that give you more control than ever before. It also enables you to easily create realistic dynamic effects with new and enhanced presets — available for you to use out-of-the-box, or modify to fit your needs. Simulate faster, streamline your workflow, and get more done.
System requirements
For 3ds max
Phoenix for 3ds Max comes in 2 build types – compatible with V-Ray Next and V-Ray 5. If you don’t have V-Ray, or you are using Corona, then it does not matter at all which one you install – Phoenix would still be able to simulate, load, save and preview caches, and it would render with the Scanline Renderer. If you do have V-Ray Next or V-Ray 5, please take care to install a matching Phoenix build.

Phoenix for Maya comes in 2 build types – compatible with V-Ray 5 and V-Ray Next.
