Discreet has begun shipping reactor, a 3ds max dynamics plugin that utilizes Havok‘s technology for realistically simulating cloth, rope, liquid, and hard/soft-body objects that collide, bounce, break, and stretch. Game developers can integrate a dynamics library directly into a game title, making 3ds max a comprehensive solution for designing game interaction.
Reactor features include rope dynamics that simulate any deformable chain from realistic hair to knots of climbing ropes; cloth dynamics that give objects elasticity, weight, and planar and flexion stiffness; rigid and soft bodies that offer solid- and soft-object simulation for everything from collapsing walls to landslide, and soft-body control over mass, friction, and deformation; and real-world simulation of fluid surfaces including buoyancy and ripple reflection.
