Handle liquids, smoke, and cloth in one workflow. 🔥 Igniting the Screen: Fire and Smoke making rendering much faster.

Generate secondary particles based on the fluid’s velocity and curvature to add "churn" and "spray." ✨ Beyond the Elements: Destruction and Particles

Use the aiStandardVolume shader in Arnold to map density to realistic blackbody radiation colors. 🌊 Mastering the Flow: Water and Liquids

Export your sims to Alembic or VDB files. This decouples the simulation from the timeline, making rendering much faster.
