Version 2.2 of Bifrost for Maya includes a ton of new stuff, including the Bifrost Graph Shape, Scatter Pack, Escape termination, Fields, overhauled influences for simulation, Aero improvements, Arnold rendering improvements, volume toolkit improvements, curves-to-strands conversion, and MPM improvements. Last but definitely not least, they include a beta release of Terminals!
This is a major release - which means it has backward compatibility implications. Please see the release notes (linked above) for more information.
Perfect time! Seems that it will be perfect playground during Christmas holidays and lock down! 🙂
You guys are the Best, so many amazing features!
I haven't tested everything yet but so far escape termination and the new force and field system are my favorites.
