nextlimit Realflow 4 to be released in June 2006

#21

not really. buggy is buggy, regardless of the OS

I have seen guys pushing RF sims with several million particles, with some stuff to make it restart if it fails. It’s a bear to work with, and is missing some pretty key functionality (I -still- cannot figure out how to hack an “inherit emitter’s velocity” w/it), but it’s what we got, for right now. My personal experience is pretty minimal, but I have seen some of my past co-workers push it to do some pretty impressive stuff, but it took many hours, and many headaches.

The thing about realflow, is that it gets more stable everytime you use it.
This is because its very unforgiving to crazy values and settings. So as a noob you constantly crash it as you use rediculous settings, the more you get to know the values and their results the program settles down a lot.

Regarding RF4 - I have one comment to make: “Evolution, not revolution”

Its like another porsche 911 released on the market. A few updates here and there but nothing partiularly exciting.
NextLimit have a forum FULL of feature requests for the next versions of realflow, and hardly any of them seem to have been announced/implemented yet. Its a pretty poor show so far from what i can see.

Having said that, the software isn’t released yet, and i really dont expect it to be out this summer. Unless it’s actually finished and they are just putting a date that they will definately meet just to shock us. :wink:

Oh and 2 major requests that dont seem to be present:

  1. Presets
  2. Enhanced simulation/relaxed fluid states
