Hey Phoenixers, Phoenix 5.21 is officially out now!
You can grab the new installers here:
3ds Max: https://download.chaos.com/?platform=49&product=46
Maya: https://download.chaos.com/?platform=48&product=46
Some of the highlights are:
The Particle and Voxel Tuners can now measure the distance from a point to the nearest particle or count the number of particles in a given radius.
This allows for measuring the distance between different particle systems and deleting stray particles or modifying the simulation based on the number of particles in a certain region.
[3ds Max only] The Phoenix Simulator options that have their value changed from the default state will be colored and you can quickly see which ones were tweaked.
The emitter objects can now be picked by multiple Sources and will use only one of the Sources for actual simulation - for scenes where you have multiple simulators in the scene that use the same emitter object in different Source nodes.
The Sources can now emit Foam, Splash and Mist particles at the same time.
As always we did many user interface improvements and fixed many bugs in order to make the simulation process a lot smoother.
Here are the full changelogs:

​Happy simming!
