Storm 0.2 Available

Effective TDs has revealed an update to Storm, the team’s standalone granular simulation tool by Sebastian Schäfer. The update brings improved performance with faster viewport display and better Particle/Deflector interaction, plus improved SDF creation and visualization. There’s also a number of new capabilities like the ability to relink particles over time, kill particles, stick particles to deforming objects, and more. Adaptive substepping is now said to be possible as is internal geometry scaling. 

The new release also brings animation shortcuts and the ability to export even more data as PRTs. The team has also improved importing with support for camera imports via Alembic. What is more, a MacOS version is now available. 

You can get Storm starting at $149.00 for a node-locked indie license. A free unlimited demo is also available with no particle exporting. You can learn more on the EffectiveTDs website.
