This section covers custom tools that ship with the Chaos Phoenix installation.
Overview
Phoenix provides the following custom tools:
- Cache Converter – converts already existing .aur cache sequences to OpenVDB sequences without simulating.
- Standalone Previewer – previews AUR, VDB and Field3D cache files without loading them into a DCC application such as 3ds Max or Maya. Can be used to save a sequence of images for the preview of an entire cached simulation.
- Standalone Previewer CLI – command line interface for the Phoenix Standalone Previewer. Previews by saving images without a graphics window or graphical user interface.
