Is RealFlow|Maya compatible with future versions of Maya?

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

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 | Maya include Hybrido, RealWave, or the Caronte dynamics solver?

No, no, and no.

RealFlow | Maya has been developed as a tool for artists with a demand for small-scale fluids, e.g. for motion graphics, TVCs, or industrial visualizations. Of course, there are users with a need for large-scale simulations, but it's not the majority. We don't want to make people pay for things they hardly or never need. In this case we recommend considering RealFlow's standalone version. Anyway, if there is an increasing demand for these tools integrated into Maya we might change our policy.

Which fluid types from RealFlow standalone are included in RealFlow|Maya?

Currently, our Dyverso solver is included. Dyverso

  • is a super fast, particle-based and GPU-powered multi-physics solver.
  • comes in 8 flavours: dump, liquid (SPH), liquid (PBD), granular, viscous, viscoelastic, rigid, and elastic.
I have an older version of Maya. Can I use RealFlow | Maya anyway?

Sorry, no. RealFlow | Maya can only be used with Maya 2017 and 2018.
