Is RealFlow|3ds Max compatible with future versions of 3ds Max?

Sometimes there are changes in the SDK that break this compatibility, so the best way to confirm this is to try to install RealFlow | 3ds Max for the new version, and check if everything is running. Of course we will release RealFlow | 3ds Max periodically to support the latest version of 3ds Max.

Is it possible to export my scene, and import to RealFlow standalone?

No, this is not possible at the moment.

Is it possible to import scenes from RealFlow standalone?

No, this is not possible at the moment.

Does RealFlow | 3ds Max include Hybrido, RealWave, or the Caronte dynamics solver?

No, no, and no.

RealFlow | 3ds Max has been developed as a tool for artists with a demand for small-scale fluids, e.g. for motion graphics, TVCs, or industrial visualizations.

Which fluid types from RealFlow standalone are included in RealFlow|3ds Max?

Currently, our Dyverso solver is included. Dyverso

  • is a super fast, particle-based and GPU-powered multi-physics solver.
  • comes in 6 flavours: dump, liquid (SPH), liquid (PBD), granular, viscous, viscoelastic.
I have an older version of 3ds Max. Can I use RealFlow | 3ds Max anyway?

RealFlow | 3ds Max can only be used with 3ds Max 2017 and higher.

Are RealFlow | 3ds Max fluids able to interact with 3ds Max's built-in fluid system?

No, this is not possible, because both systems are based on completely different technologies.
