About finalRender Drop 6 Service Pack 3

While "Subscription Drops" are typically used to introduce new features and functionality, Service Packs are focused on delivering immediate bug fixes and seldom new features.

The following changes and fixes have been implemented in this Service Pack:

• Various documented bugs have been resolved, contributing to improved stability and speed of the rendering core.
• A new option has been added to the PyroVDB feature, allowing users to define smoke color using either density or temperature. Check this out HERE
• The PyroVDB feature has been updated to provide better simulation of fine, gas-like plasma fire effects, as well as improved results for both dense smoke and thin flames.

The aforementioned PyroVDB enhancements are designed to produce better and faster renderings when used in conjunction with finalFluid, our real-time smoke and fire fluid simulation system. To learn more about this powerful real-time tool, please click here: www.finalFluid.com
