This is the traditional mesh type from early RealFlow versions and we kept it for legacy reasons, not really as an alternative to our modern engines. Nevertheless it has a couple of nice features making it interesting for some applications:

  • Like the other particle mesh engines, this type is also subdivided into two parts for mesh polygon settings and particle-based adjustments for the attached emitters. 
  • One of the main differences is that this mesh engine is single-threaded.
  • UV coordinates are supported
  • It is possible to attach polygons and cloned objects: Polygons can be used for shattering effects, while cloned objects are good for grainy substances.
