Hi there, im stuck and need help. Has anyone accounted issues to render Phoenix FD foam with the Arnold renderer? 3ds Max 2018, Arnold(latest version), Phoenix FD 3.04 I get everything, the water, the ship but not the foam. Shader for the foam are added automaticly by Phoenix FD but are. (38.8 MB) Phoenix FD for 3ds Max is a fluid dynamics simulator intended to create a wide range of effects including smoke, flames, liquids, and explosions. It is used for visual effects, architectural and product visualizations, creation of game assets, etc. You can check the Example Scenes page for a quick glance of the possibilities. Phoenix FD for 3ds Max comes in 2 build types - compatible with V-Ray Next and V-Ray 5. If you don't have V-Ray, 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. Scroll the list of applications until you locate Phoenix FD for 3ds Max 2018 or simply click the Search field and type in 'Phoenix FD for 3ds Max 2018'. If it is installed on your PC the Phoenix FD for 3ds Max 2018 program will be found very quickly.

Phoenix FD for 3ds Max is a fluid dynamics simulator intended to create a wide range of effects including smoke, flames, liquids, and explosions. It is used for visual effects, architectural and product visualizations, creation of game assets, etc. You can check the Example Scenes page for a quick glance of the possibilities.

Phoenix FD comes with a handy toolbar which offers presets for common setups such as large scale ocean simulation or gasoline explosion, or small scale setups like coffee, beer, candle, etc.

Renderers which officially support Phoenix FD or are supported by Phoenix FD are: V-Ray, Corona, Octane and Scanline. Mesh mode rendering is supported by any CPU renderer for 3ds Max.

    Seamlessly transition from procedural ocean to simulated beach waves.
  • Infinite Ocean
    Seamlessly transition from detailed ocean surface simulations to infinite ocean waves (that never repeat.)
  • Optimized Rendering
    Render photoreal fluids and volumetric effects using V-Ray’s optimized Phoenix FD shader.

What’s new in version 3.12:

  • Ocean Mesh with Physical Camera and all V-Ray camera types – now Phoenix oceans can be generated using all options of the V-Ray and 3ds Max Physical Camera, as well as all V-Ray camera types – Spherical, Cylindrical, Box, Fisheye, Warped spherical, Ortho, 360 Virtual Reality Spherical Panorama and Cube 6×1.
  • Instancing and referencing of Phoenix FD Simulators – now you can manually instance Simulators across the scene for preview and rendering in both Volumetric render modes, as well as the Isosurface and Ocean Mesh modes. Additionally, now you can have Simulators instanced for simulation as well.
  • Support for Scene and Object XRefs – now you can create XRefs containing Phoenix Simulators and Particle Shaders.
  • Textures support for volumes on V-Ray Next GPU – Now texture mapping the color and opacity of fire and smoke works on V-Ray Next GPU as well. Requires a V-Ray Next nightly build.

Old Versions

This page provides an overview on setting up and installing Phoenix FD.

Overview

This guide serves as a reference for the installation of Phoenix FD for 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design. You can download the latest official version of Phoenix FD from http://www.chaosgroup.com with the account supplied to you by Chaos Group or your reseller.

This page covers installation of Phoenix FD through the Phoenix installer. For additional setup and troubleshooting, see the following pages:

  • Trial Installation of Phoenix FD for 3ds Max - Includes details on how to sign up and use the trial version of the software.
  • Installation Troubleshooting - Provides solutions to common installation issues.
  • Silent Install and Uninstall - Instructions for silently installing or uninstalling Phoenix FD through the command line.
  • Uninstalling Phoenix FD - Instructions for manually uninstalling Phoenix FD through the included Phoenix uninstaller.
  • Set Up Your Phoenix FD License - Instructions for setting up and managing the Phoenix floating licensing system.
  • V-Ray Collection Trial Installation - Instructions for obtaining 15 Chaos products, including Phoenix FD for 3ds Max with V-Ray Collection.

If you experience any problems, please check the Installation Troubleshooting page.

In order to run Phoenix FD for 3ds Max, you need to have access to the License Server (installed on your machine or a connection to one over your network).

System requirements

Please make sure that your system fulfills these requirements before installing Phoenix FD:

Phoenix FD for 3ds Max comes in 2 build types - compatible with V-Ray Next and V-Ray 5. If you don't have V-Ray, 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.

Hardware Advice for Faster Simulating

Here's some tips to help you make sure your Phoenix sims calculate as fast as possible.

HardwareRecommendation
Bus speedPhoenix transfers huge amounts of data between memory and the CPU. The entire simulation grid gets processed tens to hundred times per simulation step, so the bus speed is the bottleneck in most simulations.
CPU speedProcessor speed is more important than core count. Also, NUMA and multiprocessor architectures do not perform well with Phoenix. Simulating on one NUMA node is often faster than waiting for multiple nodes to synchronize.
Fast StorageBoth large and small simulations take significant time just to write the cache files from the simulation and to read them back for the preview, so good storage speed can help decrease simulation times up to 30%. Turning off the preview for all grid and particle channels during large simulations could also help speed up the simulation.
GPUGPUs are currently only used for the GPU preview of fire/smoke simulations.

Software Advice for Faster Simulating

On some machines, the Anti-Virus software may treat Phoenix FD's files .aur, .f3d and .vdb as a potential risk and consume significant processing power to scan them. Since cache files are often hundreds of Megabytes or more, this could cause the simulation to slow down several times.

Consider adding an exception in your Anti-Virus software for these file formats.

You may also add Phoenix FD log file extension (.log) or the log file directory (accessible through the Phoenix Preferences) to the exceptions of the Anti-Virus software.

It may also be beneficial to add an exception for the 3ds Max process (3dsmax.exe).

Here is a short step by step guide by Microsoft on Adding an Exclusion for Windows Defender.

Installation of Phoenix FD

The Phoenix FD installer will automatically remove any previous installations. This will allow you to seamlessly upgrade from older versions of Phoenix FD. If you experience problems, you can manually uninstall the previous versions to perform a clean install. For more information, please refer to the Uninstalling Phoenix FD page.

Before running the installation, make sure your Windows account has administrative privileges and the dongle is not plugged in.

Setting up the installation

Simulation and V-Ray Standalone Render Slave
– This installation includes Phoenix FD for 3ds Max and V-Ray Standalone render plugin. Select this option if you intend to use the machine for network simulations or for distributed rendering of your Phoenix FD cache files. Note: Phoenix FD does not support distributed simulations yet.
V-Ray Standalone Render Slave
– This will install the V-Ray Standalone render plugin.


4. After you choose the installation type, you can click the Customize button and adjust the corresponding installation settings. If you have selected the Workstation installation, you will see the full list of customizable settings:

Uninstall previous installations – Leave this checked to automatically uninstall any previous versions.

How are you going to connect to the Chaos License Server? – Specifies whether the Chaos License Server will run locally or on another machine.

If you select the Remote Chaos License Server on the network option, you will have to fill in the IP address of your Chaos License Server in the field labeled Primary License Server. Please leave the port 30304 unchanged.

Specify installation paths – Please check if the default folders are correct. Common settings for Workstation installation for 3ds Max 2018 with default paths should look like the screenshot below:

5. When ready, click the Install Now button.
