This grid expands and shrinks with the movement or absence of fluid. FumeFX approaches fluid from the same viewpoint it operates on an adaptive 3D grid of voxels (volumetric pixels), which mimics a continuum of fluid. So, in physics, a fluid is generally regarded as a continuum, rather than as a bunch of individual molecules.

To begin, fluid gases, such as fire and smoke, do not have a set size or shape.

Still, in order to understand the basic concepts behind FumeFX, it may help to spend a brief moment to consider the influence of physics within the program's design. This means that you can now mimic real combustion without studying physics. The reason that FumeFX can accurately simulate the behavior of fire and smoke is because it is based on the laws of fluid dynamics. Simply put, there is no other combustion effects tool that can compete with physics simulation power in this plug-in. Furthermore, the combination of a dynamic feature set, intuitive user interface, and open architecture offer the performance and flexibility to enhance virtually any pipeline. This means you can produce realistic voxel-based simulations with greater speed and ease than ever before. FumeFX fire and smoke behave according to the laws of fluid dynamics and react to relevant physical forces, such as temperature and gravity. The key to the FumeFX difference is that it combines your specific aesthetic vision with real-world physics.

Designed for use by visual effects artists, game developers, and visualization professionals who demand the utmost in realism, FumeFX is unrivalled in its ability to capture the nuance and complexity of fluid gas behavior. This unique plug-in is a powerful gaseous fluid dynamics simulator created by Sitni Sati for seamless integration with Maxon's Cinema 4D™ modeling and animation software. Welcome to FumeFX, a groundbreaking solution for incredibly realistic and breathtaking effects with fire, smoke and explosions.
