RayFire is a powerful plugin designed for Autodesk 3ds Max, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for creating dynamic simulations and advanced visual effects. With over eight years of continuous development, RayFire has become an essential asset for freelancers, game studios, VFX houses, and engineering companies worldwide. Its user-friendly interface and intuitive workflow make it accessible to both beginners and seasoned professionals, enabling artists to produce high-quality simulations with ease.
One of RayFire's standout features is its support for both Bullet and NVIDIA PhysX physics engines, allowing users to craft realistic rigid body simulations. The Interactive Demolition System enables objects to break apart dynamically based on material properties and collision forces, with fragments capable of further demolition under sufficient impact. This level of detail brings unparalleled realism to destruction sequences, enhancing the overall visual storytelling.
The plugin offers a variety of fragmentation tools, including the Shatter modifier for tetrahedron-based fracturing and the Voronoi modifier for real-time, interactive shattering. The Bricks modifier allows for quick fragmentation of geometry into bricks or stones, providing extensive control over layout and design. Additionally, the Clusters modifier groups simple fragments into complex clusters, adding depth and intricacy to simulations. These features collectively empower artists to create detailed and dynamic destruction effects efficiently.
RayFire also includes the Bomb helper for generating diverse explosion types, such as spherical, cone, planar, and cylindrical blasts. The Voxelization feature enables the conversion of geometry into voxels, offering control over size, spacing, and chamfer properties. For those working with glass materials, the Cracks modifier animates 3D cracks within refractive objects, enhancing realism in scenes involving glass breakage. These tools expand the creative possibilities for artists, allowing for the simulation of a wide range of physical phenomena.
To ensure seamless integration into various workflows, RayFire provides the Cache object, which allows caching of geometry and animation in a single file, keeping scenes organized and manageable. The plugin also supports Particle Flow, enabling the generation of geometry upon particle death and the continuation of dynamic animations. With its perpetual licensing model, users receive one year of support and maintenance, including access to all new releases, ensuring they stay up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.
