RealFlow provides predefined objects. They
- are fully scalable
- carry UV grid data for texturing effects.
- can be easily addressed with RealFlow’s Python scripting
- can be tagged as rigid or soft bodies
- are able to interact with fluids, RealWave surfaces, or other dynamic objects
- contribute to wet-dry maps on demand.
→ Imported objects behave in exactly the same way as RealFlow’s native bodies and even multiple formats are supported.

MulitBodies
MultiBodies are internally grouped objects. This means that the MultiBody's objects are treated as a single node in the → “Nodes” and → “Relationship Editor”, but in the viewport you can see the individual objects. Typical examples are → fragmented objects or → object arrays:
- You do not have access to these individual objects via a MultiBody's → "Node Params" panel – your changes will be applied to all included nodes.
- The objects' basic properties are listed under File > Summary Info...
- If you want to perform per-object changes right-click on the MultiBody under "Nodes" and choose → "Spreadsheet".
