Realflow can do a lot of different effects like morphing your logo into liquids, creating oceans, rivers and waterfalls. It can simulate props, or geometry for collisions. What I found most useful in RealFlow are features that fracture geometry or destruction effects. RealFlow is a water or liquid simulations app, but with this software you can do dynamic simulations with rigid bodies not just water particles. So a bridge can crumble and fall in the water. Not only that but the fragments can float in the water. You can do large and small liquid simulations such as a glass of water pouring into a cup but you can take it further and have the glass shattered with a bullet and the water splay everywhere while interacting with the shards. Realflow can handle soft body as well as rigidbody, so bending metal is possible.
After simulating multiple interaction, the solution can be exported via geometry caching to other 3D apps for rendering with programs like Maya, ElectricImage or C4D. This is very useful because even gaseous particle effects in RealFlow, can be exported as dust or smoke. The workflow is brilliant because RealFlow takes in account UVs when exporting.
RealFlow has been used in broadcasts for cereals in milk, viscous liquids like pouring syrup or melted chocolate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The learning curve is a little steep and the terminology is a little foreign, but once you get use to the workflow it’s starts to become intuitive.
With 3D beefy computer specs are always preferable. However, RealFlow’s simulator has adjustable resolutions. Now it only gets slow with really viscous liquids like syrups or chocolat,e which is to be expected. There are inintegratedealFlow plugins that seat RealFlow directly in your main app a plugin for C4D or Maya with RealFlow's SD geometry cache format as well as Alembic.

The best thing about Realflow is its simplicity. Physics based digital simulation tools are one of the most complex to make. This level of complexity should not be a necessity for an artist trying to create anything. Realflow's simplicity makes it as user friendly as any simulation tool can be. One can easily get an idea of its simplicity by going through its equally comprehensive user manual. Being a multidisciplinary person, I happen to have large periodic gaps between the usage of the same tool. Realflow allows me to get to the speed within a day or two at best irrespective of the rate it has evolved with. It's just simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simulation tools can't be criticised on a standalone level as they are practically dependent on hardware. If I say that Realflow still has a long way to be an ideal one stop solution for physics based simulations, it'd be true. But same goes with every other software. Nothing is perfect. I don't have anything to dislike much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that it is easy to use to creat realistic water effects in 3D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As it makes real water effects, its also gets heavy so you should have a good configuration of your system. Rest all is good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I never before experienced magic in simulation, Realflow give you what you expected, I am highly recommended to the flued artists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have a little issue in Realflow when you stitch your cache file some time its crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Realflow is top most of our problems solvings in our workflows of our business , mostly I recommend you guys because they talk very calm and we will get lot of things to know from them,thanks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Should talk slow sometime, too fast thing some people can't get quickly, but nice service thanks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
RealFlow was created directly for liquid kind of simulation. From the first versions, it has significant changes, and every time it becomes more exciting and diverse in terms of tools and opportunities. Powerful Simulation Graph and easy user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The license price is a bit on the hefty side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Main thing which I liked the most is the breathtaking output, it's like magic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can't say anything because I have seen it's output as a viewer or as a admirer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the motions or fx we can create there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface and larger anchor points and more updates as a plugin for cinema 4d. Latest cinema 4d users cant use the realflow plugin Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
