I think it looks very cool. There's only so much time I can devote to learning new software though, I'm sure you feel the same. My personal thoughts on the subject of choosing the right software, is make an informed decision, and stick with it, learn as much as you can about the software you choose, become an expert with it. Then keep an eye out for promising new software and give it a try. Only make a switch if it's revolutionary and contains features that you can't live without. That's why I've been using Max and Maxwell for several years. Still learning (there's so much!) and I haven't ran across any other software that I can't live without. RealFlow is my next personal learning goal, which I still have much much to learn.

I will also say the mist limitation is very small in comparison with all that is possible with RF and Maxwell. I'd definitely recommend it.

that's certainly true ..

i'd love to try weathering surfaces with realflow and it's wetmaps ..

did you try getting into scripting realflow ?

greets !

[Bubbaloo]

did you try getting into scripting realflow ?

Not yet. It's on my list!

[deadalvs]

your list is surely as long as mine ...

btw. congrats for being on the new reel with your work !

[Bubbaloo]

Thanks!

Bubbaloo .. one more question ..

is it possible to somehow emit geometry from emitters ? like sticks, foliage, stones or other kinds of stuff which will interact in the sim ?

[Bubbaloo]

I don't believe so. Not directly anyway. However, you can emit the particles, and then bring those particles into Max and use Max's particle system to assign geometry to each particle. But probably you would want to use RF5's new rigid body dynamics engine to simulate any interactions with objects. It's very fast.
