HYBRIDO
Huge improvements to Hybrido workflow and performance for RealFlow 2012!

• Dripping water, automatic foam generation, faster simulations and lower memory use
• New emitters: Wet, Waterline, Splash&Foam, Wet&Foam
• Faster input/output operations
• Distance and velocity fields and velocity and vorticity maps can now be exported
• Greater controllability of fluid surface – new method of combining particles and fluid fields.
• Better control of the strength of interaction between objects and fluids
• Secondary splashes

FRACTURE TOOL
RealFlow 2012 now provides a built-in, easy-to-use tool to create fractured objects directly within your project.

• Voronoi fracturing method
• Automatic generation of multibody node for fractured object
• Optimized fractures for Caronte

RETIMER TOOL
The Retimer Tool in RealFlow 2012 works on any of the RealFlow 2012 elements and opens up a world of possibilities:

• Bullet time effects
• Reversed simulations
• Slow motion effects

All these are now just a few clicks away with no need to re-simulate!

SERVOS ENGINES

• Dynamic simulations controlled by engines
• By using Servos, it is possible to use RealFlow's dynamics solver to animate rigid bodies in a physically-correct fashion

GUI ENHANCEMENTS

• New Layers panel – faster workflow, easier simulation, improved visibility
• RealFlow 2012 also comes with some new shortcuts shelves
• Nodes list can now be filtered by name

There's also a new scheme on pricing with a Learning Edition version (http://www.realflow.com/2012/t_pricing.php) but honestly, what can you do with 10,000 particles? That's a big let down. Anyway, good to see there's something fresh
