Reactions User Guide

Reactions is a toolkit for physically based animation built for Visual Effects and Motion Graphics artists and technical directors. It is the evolution of TurbulenceFD that advances versatility, performance and workflows. Reactions includes tools for volumes (like fire, smoke or clouds), particles and procedural SDFs. But it allows for substantial extensibility of its framework that also handles polygon meshes and curves. Both builtin and user-created extensions use GPU and CPU hardware.

Reactions includes ready-made, dynamic assets and allows artists to create their own to re-use and compartmentalize their work.

Reactions provides a standalone app as well as plugins for Cinema 4D R20 and later.
