What does the future hold for Maya Fluids ?

#1

Its been ages still old, the very old solver…still remain untouched. Couldn’t expect more from siggraph, Thought Autodesk was listening !

#2

I remember seeing volumetric sims in the initial disclosure of Bifrost but they haven’t talked about the volume side since.
I too was hoping for more than the Foam, viscosity talk i saw on the area, a timeline would be appreciated too

so in short id say Bifrost is probably the future of volumetrics in Maya but when that happens is any ones guess

#3

It seems like either one has to go away or fade out like it happened with classic particles & N-particles.

#4

Future is safe but…
Autodesk Dev team will never give all in one like inside houdini bcz they also want to earn from
3ds max & softimage. Let assume if everything come in one pack then who will buy extra product.
This is my logic.

#5

well as far as Bifrost goes they have already said it COULD be used in 3DSMax… and Softimage!?.. dont think that will be an issue anymore.

I do hope that Autodesk is committed to fixing its lackluster dynamics tool sets, feature jobs for Maya artists in FX are basically gone.
