5.6 A Few Words About Fluids

This version of 3Delight For Maya comes with an SL implementation of Maya fluids. Since it still in a beta state, please mind the following shortcomings:

Performance is not on par with the default Maya renderer. This is mainly due to the algorithm being almost entirely written in RenderMan's shading language

The fluid must have a density channel in order for it to render.

2D Fluids are not supported.

Cylindrical drop-off is not supported.

Noise contrast is approximate.

Noise invert texture parameter not supported.

Intersecting fluid containers are not supported.

Fluids cannot be motion blurred.

All theses shortcomings will be addressed in a future version.
