EffectiveTDs has presented a new version of Storm, the team's standalone simulation tool.
The update brings a new particle mesher based on VDB, an alembic particle stitcher, improved sph behavior, and more. Camera is now fully selectable, moveable, plus they added curl noise for force and a number of improvements.
Features
- Multithreaded. Modern architecture to accelerate your sims by using multiple threads.
- Fast Viewport. Multi-million particles and high res meshes are handled with ease. Reduced UI lets you focus on the shot at hand.
