Hey hey,
It's been a while since our last update, so finally we are releasing Chaos Phoenix 4.40.00 (a.k.a Update 4).
In this version, we added support for 3ds Max 2022 and Maya 2022.
Unfortunately we had to disable temporarily our viewport GPU preview in 3ds Max 2022 until we agree with Autodesk on a way it can be shown again.
We also implemented mutual collisions between Active Bodies so now you can create complex rigid body dynamics with Phoenix. In order to aid scenes with many interacting objects, we added a new Property Lister window, allowing you quick access to the per-node properties of the scene nodes.
Simulations of large scale stormy oceans or tunnel waves are now possible with the new Massive Wave Force:
A new colored absorption option allows for more interesting volume rendering effects, and can also be mapped via a texture. We added support for motion blur of Bubbles and Splashes in V-Ray GPU (requires a latest V-Ray 5):
The Phoenix standalone previewer can now be fully controlled via the command line, allowing you to change options and save image sequences of cache files in all different preview modes.
In this version of Phoenix, we multithreaded all remaining parts of the simulation, and also sped up the simulation, previews and rendering significantly.
We improved our toolbar Quick Setup presets, added more options to the cache converter tool, and as always, fixed many issues.
You can check all the changes on the changelog pages here:
https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/PHX4MAX/4.40.00
https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/PHX4MAYA/4.40.00
As always, you can download the 3ds Max builds here:

and the Maya builds here:

Cheers everyone and happy simming
