Official release

Date – 20 June, 2024

Download – Build 5.22.00


With Phoenix 5.22.00 we added support for 3ds Max 2025.

The Wetmap particles can now use the RGB channel, which allows for wetmap with different colors when an object is wet by liquids with various colors. 

As always we improved the user interface and fixed bugs in order to make the simulation process smoother.
