Chaos Phoenix 5, Update 2.3 (5.23.00) for Autodesk Maya 2022-2025
Chaos has released Phoenix 5, Update 2.3 (5.23.00), the latest version of its fluid simulation software for Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk Maya. This update added support for V-Ray 7 and fixes to various user-reported issues from the previous release, providing an overall more stable experience.
Phoenix 5, Update 2.3 (5.23.00) – Date: 26 November, 2024
NEW PHOENIX Support for V-Ray 7
IMPROVED INSTALLATION Phoenix for Maya is now being installed into /Applications/Chaos/PhoenixFD for macOS, /usr/Chaos/PhoenixFD for Linux and C:\Program Files\Chaos\Phoenix FD for Windows
FIXED SIMULATION GENERAL Crash during simulation second run when using Maya native fields with tuners
FIXED V-RAY IPR IPR render crash in Maya with Volume Grid and vrscene when changing Smoke Opacity parameters
Phoenix is an all-in one solution for fluid dynamics. Simulate fire, smoke, liquids, ocean waves, splashes, spray, mist and more. Built for 3D artists who want to create dynamic FX using quick presets, fast setup and intuitive controls. Preview and render interactively in the viewport. Adjust simulations on the fly. Create all types of physically-based fluid effects with fast, flexible controls for rendering, retiming and refining simulations. Integrated seamlessly into 3ds Max and optimized to render with V-Ray. Compatible with top industry tools such as Alembic, Krakatoa, Stoke MX and OpenVDB.
Chaos Phoenix 5, update 2 adds support for Autodesk 3ds Max 2025 and Maya 2025. Packed with powerful new features to give you even more creative control and open up new exciting simulation possibilities. That’s not all — we’ve also made a number of user interface enhancements and implemented significant speed ups, allowing you to get the job done faster and more efficiently — leaving you with more time to unleash your creativity.
In this video, me and our Phoenix lead developer Svetlin Nikolov @SvetlinNikolovPhx go over all new features and improvements in the online changelog of Phoenix 5.10 and 5.20 and demonstrate how they work with super simple setups, also mentioning any useful information that we could think of.
