Dynamic thin shells and cloth such as textiles, aluminum, and plastics.Granular materials such as sand and mud, as well as snow.While the original MPM work focused on snow simulation, Jixie has extended the Bifrost MPM solver to now tackle other phenomena, including: One of the key advantages of MPM is that the behavior of simulations remains consistent as resolution increases.
We teamed up with Jixie Effects, founded by members of the original research team, to develop a production-ready MPM solver. The Material Point Method The Material Point Method (MPM) was made famous by its use as a snow solver in Disney’s Frozen. You can choose from an array of real-world fuels like methane and butane, and the solver automatically creates realistic outputs like smoke or water vapor. The combustion solver performs computational chemistry and thermodynamics to simulate the physical reactions of fire and explosions. You can also set up adaptivity to automatically add or remove detail depending on characteristics like velocity, turbulence, and smoke density. Simple artistic controls make it easy to adjust boundary conditions for your effects so that they interact in a more physically-accurate way with the surrounding scene. Maya 2019.2 One Graphĭetailed Smoke, Fire, and Explosions Using the new physically-based solvers for aerodynamics and combustion, it’s now possible to create deceptively natural-looking smoke, fire, and explosions. Using the Bifrost Graph Editor, you can build visual programming graphs to do the scattering, instancing, deformation, volume processing, dynamic simulation, material assignments, file IO, and even mix in low-level math nodes – without switching contexts or graph semantics. to see it, go to the product page and click on Updates.
The list of bug fixes is in the release notes. Stay tuned for more information on this release coming tomorrow! It will also be included in the installer for Maya 2019.2 and later versions. Bifrost for Maya is one of the many great new features of Maya 2019.2, as posted to The Maya Blog yesterday.īifrost for Maya is available today and will work with any version of Maya 2018 or later.
