Cloth, Soft Body and Inflatables
Convert scene objects into cloth and watch them interact with FumeFX simulation.

Cloth and Soft Body

NodeWorks uses a particle-based approach to simulate cloth, soft body, and inflatable dynamics, allowing for a wide range of visual effects that interact with FumeFX fluid simulations. The built-in aerodynamic drag ensures realistic cloth behavior in wind, while individual fibers can be torn on demand and with absolute precision. Plasticity enables fibers to degrade gradually over time, resulting in permanent deformations that realistically respond to external forces.

FumeFX Interaction

One of the most important aspects of NodeWorks is the integration with FumeFX simulation. Artists now have a unique solution to use cloth and softy body objects as FumeFX sourcs or obstacles.




Cloth simulation inside 3ds max

Cloth

Cloth is formed by creating three different fiber types on the object's surface: stretch, shear and bend. Those fibers can be stretched, torn or undergo permanent deformations (plasicity).
Soft body simulation in 3ds max

Soft Body

Soft body objects contain fibers that are created throughout the object's interior providing additional structural support.
Inflatable soft body in 3ds max

Inflatable Soft Body

This soft body type allows object to be gradually inflated and float in air by using the buoyancy option.



Complete control over each fiber in the simulation.

Fibers

NodeWorks fibers allow artist to select and tweak each individual fiber in the system as well as to precisely time and position fiber tear.

Licensing

Make sure to extend your subscription on time as we are not automatically charge credit cards to extend subscription.
Once your FumeFX 6 subscription expires you will be able to load and render caches but you cannot run simulation, acess or change any parameter inside the user interface. The same rules apply for FumeFX and NodeWorks while ISurf requires license for rendering.
Your FumeFX 5 perpetual license will be valid regardless of FumeFX 6 subscription and may continue to use it. However, FumeFX 5 is an obsolete version now and will not be updated.
We do offer educational license at $95 for one year subscription. It is available for high school or colledge students, staff members, schools and other educational or non-profit organisations. Contact us if you wish to order educational license. Volume discounts are available.
