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.



  Support for 3ds Max 2025


  Simulate and export the RGB channel of the Wetmap particles

  Cache files will not be loaded for simulators, which are not visible in the viewport, when not rendering

  Hide automatically the Phoenix viewport icons when using V-Ray Viewport IPR 

  Implement QT User Interface for the Phoenix Plain Force 


  Dropped support for 3ds Max 2019


3ds Max crashes when adding a Static AB properties to one of many selected objects in the Phoenix Property Lister

  The "Show Billboarded Viewport Icons" option is not respected in 3ds Max since Phoenix 5.21

Running a simulation through a MaxScript two times in a row leads to incorrect results
