Particle Mesh RK and OpenVDB (PM)

The “Particle Mesh” engines are fast high-quality meshing tools for standard particle fluids. These mesh types store a wide variety of channels and support interactive meshing. They come in two flavours:

  • RenderKit. A multi-threaded engine with lots of features and filters.
  • OpenVDB. A very fast multi-threaded field-based engine which drastically reduces the unwanted flicker with slow-motion simulations.


The parameter sets and features are almost exactly the same for both mesh engines and therefore they are described together. You can find these mesh types in the "Mesh" shelf:
