This means that finalFluid has now outgrown the beta phase and is being made available as a commercial version for the first time. Cebas Visual Technology is a privately owned software company based in Canada, dedicated to developing software that enables visual effects artists to achieve physical accuracy.

Everything else you need to know about OpenVDB can be foundat openvdb.org. FinalFluid is compatible with 3ds Max 2021 and upwards.
