Thinkbox has released v2.0 of its meshing plugin for Max, which nearly doubles the performance of previous releases. The new version also offers tighter integration with V-Ray, enabling customizable particle scattering for distributing and rendering millions of mesh instances in Custom Geometry meshing mode. A new Region of Interest option lets users easily define a custom bounding box region that can be applied to viewport meshing for faster previews while adjusting settings of complex particle data sets, to remove unwanted areas in Render-time meshing, or both. A dedicated Frost menu bar has been added to 3DS Max’s main menu for faster access to major features.

Also of note, Thinkbox Software has announced the beta for Frost MY 2.0 for Maya. Those interested in participating in beta testing are welcome to contact Thinkbox.

More information on Thinkbox’s website.

This is one of the best updates ever! Liquids meshing is about 2X faster, But using vray instances I can go now over 20Milion objects no matter resolution with a super tiny ram footprint, and with all magmaflow control!.
