RealFlow Features
RealFlow’s Dyverso solver enables the simulation of various materials—liquids, granulars, rigid bodies, elastics, and viscoelastics—within a unified framework. GPU-accelerated for enhanced performance, it allows these materials to interact seamlessly, facilitating complex simulations in a single environment.
RealWave simulates ocean surfaces with high realism, supporting interactions with objects, particles, and wave generators. It offers features like displacement map export, crest splash creation, and floating body simulations, making it ideal for small to medium-scale ocean scenes.
Caronte is RealFlow’s built-in solver for rigid and soft body dynamics. It provides fast, accurate collisions and natural behavior for rigid bodies, while supporting plastic and elastic deformations for soft bodies, even with high-resolution meshes.
The Macro Daemon enables the simulation of fluid effects characteristic of high-speed photography. It helps recreate phenomena like crown splashes, adding a layer of realism to simulations by mimicking the thickening at the upper edge of fluid jets.
RealFlow features an intuitive interface with compact relationship editor nodes and one-click workflows. The parameters panel includes animation buttons, expressions, and sliders, streamlining the simulation setup process and improving user efficiency.
