emPolygonizer5 release (Softimage, Modo, Fabric Engine, Maya, command line)
Hey guys, Just wanted to announce the official release of emPolygonizer5. I copy/pasted the newsletter below. Cheers! Eric Mootzoid is pleased to announce the release of *emPolygonizer5* (version 5.1). Aside from new features and many improvements this new version is not only available for *Softimage*, but also for *Maya*, *MODO*, *Fabric Engine* and as a *command line tool* = pick your poison! The plugin was heavily tested during the last few weeks to eliminate any last bugs and to make sure it can handle dozens of millions of particles on a normal workstation and so on. In short: to ensure it is a solid and reliable tool for production! The resulting renderings were put together in a four minute long release video called Wild at Mesh, see link below. The *Softimage*, the *Maya *and the *command line* versions are 100% finished, the *Fabric Engine* version as well as the *MODO* version will be available shortly (in a couple of weeks, tops) as there are still a few last little things to polish. Wild at Mesh (release video ): https://vimeo.com/109935003 emPolygonizer5 web page: http://www.mootzoid.com/plugin/empolygonizer5 Upgrade / Order: http://www.mootzoid.com/order Hope this new version will be fun to work with and helpful in production! Should you have questions regarding emPolygonizer5 don't hesitate to write me an email! Take care, Eric PS (*MODO*): one can already download the beta version and test it. There will be a video tutorial available in a couple of days that will demonstrate how to use the beta.

Proteus is a new SPH liquid solver being developed by a team around professor M. Teschner and doctor M. Ihmsen as well as a bunch of really talented students. They have also been publishing papers on all kinds of simulations: fluids, liquids, sand, etc., here a link to the team: http://cg.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/team.htm and here is a list of publications from Dr. Markus Ihmsen, the senior researcher, pretty impressive stuff: http://cg.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/people/ihmsen.htm Had the pleasure to meet them twice in Freiburg and to work together with them.
